evolution-ews 0.31.x was the initial version submitted for openSUSE 12.1
during last moment and later couldn't upgrade it. You can pick
evolution-ews 3.2.2 from here [1].

It's almost same. Initially 2.28.x , 3.0.x and 3.2.x, all evolution
versions were supported with same ews code base. To decrease complexity
and pain in maintaining backward compatibility, ews is branched (2.28.x,
3.0.x and 3.2.x) later but important fixes will be applied to all
branches as per need.

Currently ews is supported and well tested with Exchange 2007 server so
there might be problems with connectivity to Exchange 2010. Please feel
free to report issues in bugzilla [2] if you don't find them reported
already.
