Evo 2.32.1 is the default in Ubuntu 11.04, which will have its second
alpha release late this month.  The OP could install this and have the
latest.  

While I'd be hesitant to design bridges or keep financial records with a
somewhat unstable alpha, I haven't had any problems with Evo and IMAP
using some old version of exchange at my former university and natty
alpha-1.   Dual booting between the latest release and the alpha takes
seconds, and would be a good way to see if his problems persist in
2.32.1.

Also, there's a ppa for Ubuntu 10.10 to install 2.32.1:
