Looks like a bug with the evolution-exchange plugin, known upstream from
Ubuntu as well?

Launch pad info:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution-exchange/+bug/159401

Gnome bugzilla info:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=435371

If you look at comments 15 and 16 on the gnome bugzilla you should see a
suggested workarounds.

Let me know if this helps!
