In what way did it "not help".  IMAP on Evolution is really quite solid.

That sounds like it's a problem with the server then :-)

I suspect the "Internal Server Error" is a catch all for when EWS
doesn't get a response.

Have you tried running Evolution from the command line - that may give
you more detail.  Also try turning on some debugging to get more
detailed information.  Basic debugging information is here:

 https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/Debugging

unfortunately the EWS debugging info isn't there - try

  $ EWS_DEBUG=2 evolution

or

  $ CAMEL_DEBUG=ews evolution

(can anyone more knowledgeable say what the correct debug variable is?)
