Believe me, it is like that on my configuration and has been for at least 18 months. Using the Evolution preferences to set up a new account, I give the email address under 'identity' and click 'next' and it jumps directly to the 'account summary' with an imapx / smtp account at some (for me unknown) provider. I need to go back to the 'receiving mail' section to change imapx+ to ews and proceed from there. The opportunity to enter 'ews' is not offered before then. But after that, it works. You might suggest that the imapx option would also work, assuming that the lookup finds the right EWS server, but then why would we need the EWS module in Gnome?
