Evolution is no longer the *default* MUA in Ubuntu, but reasonably up-to-date versions continue to be offered in the repositories. I'm not on Saucy now, but I'm sure that offers evo 3.8.x. Saucy (13.10, to be released in mid-October) still uses the evolution calendaring functions for their version of the GNOME calendar too.

While this is a little riskier than using the distribution's own repositories, I've never had the slightest problem using PPAs hosted on well known places like SourceForge. This doesn't differ a whole lot from using the "universe" repository. Please don't top post. -- N. B.
