Sorry, no idea. I've never used Exchange. I have had superficially
similar problems with Gmail though (but much less often than used to be
the case), and it would sometimes help to disable the account
(right-click on the account name in the folder list) and then re-enable
it (via Edit->Preferences or Ctrl-Shift-S).

When that doesn't work I just restart Evo.
