If you are brave, don't depend on your computer to be running instantly
if all fails and want to learn a little:
You may want to consider going down this route
https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/upgrade-ubuntu-16-10-to-17-04

but also may have to do it in stages and go down this route first
https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/upgrade-ubuntu-16-04-to-ubuntu-16-10

Which will end up with you getting the latest LTS 17.04 and Evolution
(3.22.6) as derived from Debian Stretch for the latest LTS Ubuntu.

As Andre already mentioned probably best to ask in an Ubuntu forum for
the best way, just trying to upgrade Evolution on 16.04 requires a dbus
upgrade (amongst others) too, which may end up with you crippling your
system without the many depends/requires installed in the correct
manner.
