I recently upgraded to the new version of Ubuntu and therefore I have
evolution 3.6. In my opinion it is worth doing it as long as you do
not need to connect to an exchange server. Lots of problems that I had
in 3.2.x are now gone. Sadly, I have problems sending emails via our
exchange server, but this is not due to evolution as mentioned in an
email earlier this week.

Of course you need to check what other applications you use on regular
basis and whether there is a chance to break them. In my case, I did
not see major problems.
