The newest _for your release of Mint_ (you don't say which release
you're using, but it seems pretty old).  If you update to a newer
version of Mint, you'll get a newer version of Evolution.  Mint, like
virtually every other distribution out there including Ubuntu, doesn't
update the versions of packages in most packages in older distributions;
they only backport bugfixes and security fixes.
