        Hi,
I'm getting dislike Arch. You surely do not have 3.24.2, that had not
been released yet. The way the Arch maintainer does his/her duty leads
only to confusion for users and nothing else. It's a very wrong
approach, from my point of view. The packager should use
-DVERSION_SUBSTRING="+gitXXXXXX", eventually
-DVERSION_COMMENT="+gitXXXXXX", (though none of this is shown in
Help->About (I'm changing it for the next release), only in
`evolution --version`) during the build (pass to cmake command) and
skip the commit where the version is bumped just after the previous
release, then everything will make sense and not be confusing. I know
it's not your fault, I'm just saying this here publicly (even this is
not the right mailing list to deal with this issue, I'm sorry).

Does it say also why it failed to connect there? Do you configure the
account in evolution, or in GNOME Online Accounts? What if you remove
that EWS account (not only disable) and then recreate it from scratch,
will it help?

Maybe you face (with both IMAP issues) something similar to:

It's still under investigation.
