I'd posted this issue to another thread which then pointed me back here. I applied the debian ews and things worked. Just did an update and a new evolution got installed. The hang returned. Removed the debian version of ews and reinstalled the ubuntu version. Still hangs. If I run from the command line I get the message about registering the CamelEWSStore. here is the output:

Calendars will show up in Gnome but evolution just sits there with no UI ever popping up. Can wait hours, will not crash or do anything. If you try to open another instance you get a pop up saying it's already running. Fresh install of UbuntuGnome both with updates turned on and off. Both times, same results. Evolution-EWS is what causes it, if you remove it it opens just fine.
