Finally I found a solution. 
WARNING: This is an absolutely NON scientific method. It is 100% based on try & 
fail.
So far, it's been working for me for the whole day.

0: Synaptic is set at maverick-proposed level. 
1: Uninstall Evolution with "sudo aptitude purge evolution evolution-indicator 
evolution-documentation-en evolution-common evolution-couchdb 
evolution-exchange evolution-data-server evolution-webcal evolution-plugins".
Don't care about warnings: Go ahead, because "Fortune favors the bold".
2: Delete your Evolution folder (at ~/.evolution).
3: Install again evolution + exchange plugin with "sudo apt-get install 
evolution evolution-exchange".
4: Restart Evolution. Let it sync.
5: Optional step: Disable as many add-ons as possible. Honestly I don't know if 
any of them is responsible... 

Before this, I've got three major problems:
- At start-up, usually Evolution froze while syncing. Or downloading new 
messages content (headers showed up fine).
- If started off-line, showed a wrong URL message for each preview.
- Trash folder sometimes appeared as a regular folder, sometimes as a real 
Trash can (main difference was the absence of the "empty trash" option).

Good luck!
