Not really. The developers don't package the code at all, even release versions, that is all done by which ever distro you use. To try a development version (which in this case would be 3.37.x) you need to download the source and compile it yourself. For more information on that see https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution It may be that there is a Flatpak version out there, but that comes with it's own problems and I'm not sure I would recommend going down that route. > > Ok, I admit, I have to add another question here: Is there a reason > why this is done vial mailing list, and not using some forum > platform?

The mailing list archives are indexed and searchable using your favourite search engine. So usually just searching for the problem will come up with mailing list messages. The archive pages also have a search function. If you want it more targetted then you can use the Google site search. i.e. search for something like site:https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/ composer The archives are (clearly) indexed, but I suspect that the results are drowned out by the search algorithms promoting bigger sites. You often get results from distro specific forums where the answers might not be of the, err, highest quality. I have no idea why people seem to think that you can't search the past mailing list messages.
