Exchange Web Services is the "native" protocol that Outlook 2010 uses to
communicate with Exchange. It obsoletes the MAPI protocol which older
versions of Outlook used to use.

Evolution-EWS is a 'back end' or 'connector' for Evolution which lets
you access your Exchange mail/calendar/addressbook using the EWS
protocol.
