The version in the official Arch "extra" repository is 3.20.5-1 and not
3.22.x.

[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ pacman -Si evolution | head -3
Repository      : extra
Name            : evolution
Version         : 3.20.5-1

Assuming you have libraries installed from "testing", but Evolution from
"extra" or vice versa, it could be that you run into soname issues.
Note, Arch packages don't contain information about the required
dependency versions.

[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ pacman -Si evolution | grep Dep
Depends On      : gnome-desktop  evolution-data-server
                  libcanberra  libpst  libytnef  dconf  gtkspell3
                  libcryptui  webkitgtk
Optional Deps   : highlight: text highlight plugin

The reason for this is, that Arch Linux is a user-centric real rolling
release.

Assuming the culprit should be soname issues, you could build evolution
against your mixed repositories Arch install.

You could use ABS to build Evolution against the installed libs.

[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ pacman -Qi abs | grep Des
Description     : Utilities to download and work with the Arch Build
System (ABS)
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ ls -hAl /var/abs/extra/evolution*
/var/abs/extra/evolution:
total 4.0K
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.7K Oct 12 21:07 PKGBUILD

/var/abs/extra/evolution-data-server:
total 4.0K
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.4K Oct 12 21:07 PKGBUILD

/var/abs/extra/evolution-ews:
total 4.0K
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.2K Oct 12 21:07 PKGBUILD

First build and install evolution-data-server and after that evolution.
