Arch Linux

I ran into strange phenomena with evolution-ews lately, (see here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728942) which led me to delete my evolution-ews setup, to test if the failure was gone with a fresh setup.

However, after deleting all of my evolution configuration and data, I couldn't manage to get it to work again. The account setup wizard guided my through all the setup stages, but in the end evolution-ews spammed a lot of error messages into the logs but didn't sync any email. Calendar and address book however worked. At first I thought this was some quirk with my setup, but two of my colleagues at work now experience the same problem, so there seems to be some problem with the latest evolution release.

If I downgrade to evolution-3.10 (version from here: http://seblu.net/a/arm/2014/03/01/extra/os/x86_64/) everything works as expected.

Funny thing is: on my laptop, which I only updated from 3.10 to 3.12, everything works fine.

Additional info:
* package version(s):
evolution-{data-server,ews}-3.12.3-1


These errors appear when the setup is complete and evolution tries to sync email from exchange for the first time:

-------------
(evolution:12821): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to register client: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name

Steps to reproduce:
- start with a newly created user account
- install evolution-ews-3.12
- start evolution from the shell, configure evolution-ews account
- settings:
-- activate OAB and GAL
-- set 'check for messages in all folders'
-- set 'automatically synchronize remote mail locally'
-- set 'cache offline address book'
- finish the setup wizard, no email is synced
- address book
- check shell for error messages

-OR-
- install evolution-3.10
- repeat steps above
- email gets synced
- upgrade to 3.12
- everything still works
