        Hi,
I'd like to ask you to file a bug report into:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=evolution-data-server
It'll be better for maintenance and history, patch-wise speaking.

Hard to tell. I checked the code and it happens when an EWS message is
downloaded and it is supposed to be moved to the right place on the
disk (from a temporary place, to the correct cache folder). Pity the
error message doesn't contain exact error message of the actual
failure. I'll extend the error message.

Run evolution from a terminal with EWS debugging on, then you'll see
which message move failed:
   $ EWS_DEBUG=2 evolution
You should see at the end of the log something between
<MimeContent>xxx</MimeContent>, which is a base64-encoded path of the
file it tried to move. There are couple issues which can happen here, I
do not want to guess too much here.
        Bye,
        Milan
