Hi all,
Thanks for the support.
First of all, I want to clarify why I used root to run the evolution and
rebooted after the installation. There is a but in the launchpad that it
describing this problem (
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution-ews/+bug/1061195). If
you'll review the comments bellow the bug description you will find out
that under root it supposed to be working. Also, there is a reference to
the big in Gnome Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746900),
in which one guy described why evolution and all evolution processes should
be restarted.

Today I reinstalled Evilution and configured the Exchange account one more
time. And it works! I think that there was a problem with the settings I
provided.
I'll wait for a while to let Evolution to synchronize all the emails.

Again, thank you, guys.
