Hi

You took what I said out of context Ralf !!

Right for all those frightened of breaking their system by updating to 
 3.28.3-0ubuntu1  
The above version number is copied and pasted from the "Help/about"
pulldown.

I'm running Linux Mint 19 with Evolution 3.28.3, and it hasn't broken
the system here :) the caveat is just because it hasn't broken mine
does not mean it wont brake yours.

Installed by adding the source to /etc/apt/sources.list, and the entry
hashed out afterwards, otherwise there is a large download when running
update. Dont forget to run apt update after removing the extra repo.

HTH
