        Hi,
with the given information by you I'd say the same.

There's one thing confusing. You said you have one such event, but the
log showed multiple of them. Does server return wrong answer or it's a
copy&paste error, or there are more such events?

It didn't do so much error checking as the newer does, I believe. Feel
free to file a bug here:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution-ews/issues/new
thus there is some history behind the change.

I'm always unsure whether it's a good idea to silently ignore errors,
I'd prefer to know when something goes wrong, but maybe there are cases
which are valid, like this Access Denied error. It means that some
event is missing and I'd say OWA/Outlook also has that one missing, but
as you cannot access it it's pretty hard to guess what the event is to
verify that. Maybe if you try the curl command with credentials from
the calendar owner it'll show you what the event it about.
        Bye,
