Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Facing the same issues. Is this maybe connected to the general incompatibility of evolution with Exchange 2007+ ? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution-exchange/+bug/206346
