You need to add testing &/or unstable sources to your ~/sources.list. Use
'pinning', which uses the '/etc/apt/preferences' file. There have been quite
a few postings on this on this list, a search on 'apt_preferences (man page
also), or pinning will get you the details. Evolution in Unstable has quite
a few depends, not sure if now would be a good time to grab Evolution. You
can always just do a test run.
