Thanks for this question.

In general backports are done for security reasons. Therefore, as long as their is no real security reason to do so, probably not.

I hope this helps.

2.11.1.1 is an unstable release, so it would probably not be a good idea. You could backport this yourself with pbuilder if you had plenty of time.

I looked at that, but in the end set up a new Feisty installation in a VMWare VM and upgraded that to Gutsy (which supports the newer Evolution). Told me what I needed to know. Looking forward to 2.2
