I'm using pre-release Ubuntu 10.04 which ships Evolution 3.10.4. According to https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution#Get_the_Source_Code this is the latest released stable version (2014-02-10); appropriate for an LTS release. Both work very well for me; I'm not designing bridges or powering life-support systems here.
The OP could wait about a month for the Ubuntu release or 2 months for Mint and get a sable version of evo, or install the daily build of any official flavor of Ubuntu 14.04. -- N. B.
