No. RHEL 5 is branched from the initial release of Fedora Core 6, and as such provides GNOME 2.16.0, which includes Evolution 2.8.0. But we support those versions for the lifetime of the RHEL release. I, for example, am still supporting Evolution 2.0.2 in RHEL 4. Exceptions to the rule have been made, however, and there is some talk of whether it would make sense to upgrade the major desktop applications (Firefox, OpenOffice, and Evolution) at some point before RHEL 6. I'm in favor of that; it would make my job easier. But nothing official has been decided. > FYI, the latest Evo RPMs on Fedora 6 (stable) are for 2.8.3.

Given that RHEL 5 uses yum now, upgrading Evolution at your own risk might be as easy as pointing it to a Fedora repository. But Patrick is right about the dependencies and obviously we don't support that.
