It sounds to me you're using an old version of Debian or Ubuntu.  I can only recommend upgrading if you want to use the latest Geary.

How to install that? I use apt-get to make that and it was 1.8.1. Should I go for backports or something else?

1.8.1 is too old.  You should install 1.10 or better.
