 Addendum:
 
 As of evolution-2.8.2.1/evolution-exchange-2.8.2, mail with my Microsoft
 Exchange backend is now working again.  No specific cause was ever
 determined from my side:  something serendipitous happened "upstream".
 
 Sometimes Evolution gets wedged after improper shutdown (like a crash)
 giving an erroneous "Lost connection to backend Exchange process"
 dialog.  Assuming you have all your important information in the
 Exchange account (i.e. nothing locally), the fix I have found to work is
 to rm -rf $USER/.evolution and $USER/apps/evolution.
