The problem isn't directly with backporting Evolution (and yes I know how important it is) but with the required library updates. Doing this would have the potential to negatively affect every single desktop user that has backports enabled.

There is a technical board directed policy against library backports
that there is no way we could do enough testing to merit an exception.
The level of testing required would probably be similar to what's needed
for a new Ubuntu release.

I think it makes more sense to finish the Natty release at this point
than to delay it a month to update Evolution in Lucid.

Honestly, if it's that important to you and a PPA (which is being worked
on) isn't sufficient, then you need to Update to a newer distro release.
F15 this month or Natty next month is entirely up to you.
