It worked just fine for me. I had evolution from testing installed
until yesterday. I moved to evo from unstable because I found evolution
really lacking in features. The package in unstable isn't quite working
right. Based on the bug reports I looked at it's an evolution problem. It
also appears that the most recent evolution is also really lacking in
features.

Switching back to testing retrieved my calendar, which had been lost. Tasks
were also borken, but I wasn't using them.

Mail worked in both versions, local and IMAP.

Put the following in /etc/apt/preferences:

###
Package: *
Pin: release stable
Pin-Priority: 600

Package: *
Pin: release testing
Pin-Priority: 70

Package: *
Pin: release unstable
Pin-Priority: 80
###

If you're sticking testing all around change the 70 to 700.

Put sources for stable, testing and unstable in /etc/apt/sources.list.

Put the following in /etc/apt/apt.conf:

###
APT {
=09Cache-Limit 104857600;
};
###

Now do an update, "apt-get update", then install from testing:

apt-get -t testing install evolution

I don't know when I installed evolution. Probably ages ago. My workstation
is running testing.
