You may do some version-sleuthing like Paul suggested, but as jessie is
still quite fresh, it might be simpler for you to pin stable to >1000 for a
moment:

/etc/apt/preferences
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 1001

then you install evolution then remove the pin.

A more brutal solution, compared to fine-tuning, but doesn't take as much
work.
