For the French language challenged, that's "Too many open files".

When do you see that error message? Is that related to not being able to
disable an EWS account?  (Which is what the messages immediately before
this were talking about.)

Or is to do with crashing after reading 20 emails?

Nevertheless doing a quick Google search on that error shows that it
appears in other applications and seems to be down to an application not
closing sockets.

I suspect it's a bug - or at least a bug in some other component (like
EWS) holding open sockets or blocking threads and so eventually filling
up the file table.

You will need to file a bug in Bugzilla about it - it will be almost
essential to have a backtrace of the process from when it crashes (make
sure you have the debugging packages installed so that the symbol table
is available) and probably in this case a list of the open files from
the Evolution process (use lsof).
