Basically any errors, permission denied, timeouts that sort of thing.

Try creating a new Linux account, then from that account create the EWS
account in Evolution.  This will start you with a new clean
configuration and see if that then works correctly.  If it does, then
you will know it's something to do with the configuration and not the
server or the install of Evolution.

The cache is stored in ~/.cache/evolution/calendars - you could try
shutting down Evolution (and all the backend processes), and rename that
folder - Evolution should recreate it all when you restart.
