Taking a look at the packages provided by Debian, there shouldn't be
an issue with the default Adwaita theme for GTK3 apps such as
Evolution, since
https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=gtk
https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=libgtk

everything is 3.20, the same version as the gnome-themes-standard, only
GTK2 apps should become disgusting, assumed Debian uses the original,
un-patched releases from upstream as Arch does. Assumed you shouldn't
use Adwaita, then most likely the theme you're using doesn't work
anymore with gtk 3.20.

Resume: If you do not use Adwaita and GTK2 apps should be unimportant
for you, consider to switch to Adwaita. If you're already using
Adwaita, check if gtk3 and gnome-themes-standard are both 3.20.

From command line a simple

  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

should update gtk and gnome-themes-standard for Debian stretch and sid
to 3.20.

As a newbie you should consider to stay with Debian stable. The headers
of your email claim that you're using testing (or even sid), regarding
the version of Evolution that is mentioned by the headers.
