After configuring my work Exchange account using EWS, email, contacts, and calendar reminders appear to be working with no problems. Yet, when I click on the Calendar button to view my calendar and change to Month view, Evolution completely locks up. I manually killed all Evolution-related processes using the system monitor, but re-launching Evolution takes me back directly to the Calendar, freezing the email client once again. If I wait long enough (about 15 - 20min) the email client seems to return back to normal, but will freeze again if I click Calendar once more. I was able to recreate the issue on a VM as well. I also verified the issue exists with vanilla Ubuntu Desktop 14.04 and Ubuntu GNOME 14.04. All tests were run and confirmed on 64-bit releases. I did a little research before posting and found someone had the exact same problem with Evolution running on Fedora. The original link can be found here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1075461 The issue appears to be with the evolution-data-server component, and a patched version of the component evolution-data-server-3.10.4-3 was released to resolve the issue. I tried looking online for an Ubuntu compatible version of the patch but have fallen short.
