Ian, upgrades to evolution require software that is only available in later
versions of the operating system. If you upgrade to Ubuntu 15.10, you will get
evolution 3.16.2. Ubuntu 15.10 is very stable (much more so than Windows 10),
and I have been using it on both 32-bit and 64-bit PCs w/o a problem. Evolution
3.16.2 has a couple of bugs in it with respect to generating business-quality e-
mail that have been fixed with 3.18.2. Getting from 3.16.2 to 3.18.2 requires
the gnome3-team and gnome3-team staging PPAs.

Thanks to John and Pete for your replies.
John, I have tried to install a later version but no luck. I found a ppa
(ppa:fta/gno,e3) which has 3.16.1, but when I removed and reinstalled Evolution
it installed the same version again (3.10.4). It seems the official repositories
override any PPAs present, even if (or maybe because) they contain newer
versions. The only other download I could find was a tar.xz. I downloaded that
and started reading the README, I got about half way through and gave up, way
too complex for me to attempt.
Pete, I can't find anywhere to change themes in my version, in fact there is no
mention of themes at all. I couldn't view the help (selecting Help Contents did
nothing) so I found the help on the net. It had no mention of themes in it
either. Not sure where to look next.
Thanks,
Ian
