I am suffering the same problem with evolution 2.8 on Edgy, obviously I'm connecting to an exchange server. The problem seems to be intermittent.

1. Boot Ubuntu
2. Start evolution
3. Folders are populated an messages appear in the list for the selected folder, but there is no access to the contents of messages.
4. Error message appears:

---
Error while refreshing folder.

Lost connection to Evolution Exchange backend process

I looked at top, and unless I close evolution, the:

evolution-exchange-storage --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Exchange_Component_Factory:2.8 --oaf-ior-fd=34

process is using 99% cpu.

Solutions I've attempted are:
a) evolution --force-shutdown
b) opening and closing evolution about 4 times

Solution b) seems to work, but obviously not a good one to have. I will try and get some kind of debug information to add to this bug report. Are there any specifics that would be good. Also, why is there no assignee to this bug?
