If you look at

(which is linked from the feature page), then the other alternative is
EAS or Exchange ActiveSync [1] not EWS.

Those are the protocols they've *added* to support mobile access,
AFAICT. But they *already* supported EWS natively, and that is the
protocol they support best.

EWS is a much richer protocol than ActiveSync, and Microsoft's IMAP
implementations have always been broken. Seriously, if EWS is available
then just use it.

Although I *would* like to see Evolution's ActiveSync support get a
higher profile :)
