You can also use
https://launchpad.net/~francesco-marella/+archive/unstable-evolution

It sounds a lot smarter if we make an group-effort to create/maintain a
evolution 2.30 ppa with all necessary packages than dozens/hundreds of
people compiling it.

PPA description
Contains packages for the unstable release of Evolution,

> > > USE AT YOUR OWN RISK <<<

How to use it
-----------------
Execute this in terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:francesco-marella/unstable-evolution

Note:
1) For a compatible
evolution-indicator: lp:~francesco-marella/evolution-indicator/2.30-compat
Maybe I'll package it later...

2) Evolution-exchange: I had no luck with it, tips are welcome
3) Evolution-mapi: no way.
