The whole point of LTS versions (as Ubuntu calls them) is that the
versions of the software are stable over the whole lifetime of the OS.
If you want to keep the stability of the LTS version, then don't
upgrade a package to a non repository version. If you don't care about
that stability, then why bother with LTS.

3.10 should be popping up alerts - check the Gnome notification centre
that Evolution alerts are enabled.
