I run 12.04 and want to update my Evolution to 3.8.0. I found a solution and would appreciate help knowing whether it is correct and safe. Any better solutions are welcome. I have never compiled from source and am a beginner. Thanks
To Install Evolution 3.8.0 in Ubuntu 13.04/12.10/12.04 and Mint
15/14/13 , open Terminal (Press Ctrl+Alt+T) and copy the following
commands in the Terminal:sudo wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/evolution/evolution_3.6.0-0ubuntu3_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i evolution_3.6.0-0ubuntu3_i386.deb sudo apt-get install -fIf any error you can follow this command :
sudo apt-get install evolution

Both are saying the same thing. The 1st method downloads Evolution manually from Ubuntu repos and then unpacks and installs the .deb file.
The 2nd method is about doing the above manual process automatically with APT.
If you use the 1st method you will have your cache file in the current directory of your terminal and if you use the 2nd method the cache will be in the apt cache directory. Otherwise there is no difference.
