I used Evolution on my box and this works very well. But i stopped using it in favour of OWA once we were on office365. Evolution still works on office365, but the owa interface (chromium and firefox alike) works very well.
I had to go through a million settings to get it the way I wanted it, but now I am liking it ok. Definitely not as good as Outlook or OWA, but usable.
I also found that you cannot trust Evolution to listen for exchange updates. I found it was spotty and unreliable. I set it to check with server every minute instead. I know that isn't ideal, but I can't miss stuff for 20 minutes.

@irj Strange, I don't have a problem getting exchange updates. I couldn't say why you are though. Just strange

It happened to me twice where I missed email for about 10 minutes. Then I could no longer trust it.

Do you also have Listen for server change notifications checked too?

I tried just checking that originally .
