Can anyone confirm if this is fixed in 16.10 ews?

** Description changed:

- Problem:
- The EWS plugin doesn't display recurring/repeated events in the calender. 
Only single time events are displayed.
+ [Impact]
+ 
+  * The EWS plugin doesn't display recurring/repeated events in the calender. 
Only single time events are displayed.
  Outlook Online displays all the events correctly.
  
- I already deleted and readded the account, but still the same problem.
+ The EWS plugin doesn't seem to thrown any errors, so people using it may
+ not notice some events are missing.
  
- Please let me know how I can provide further debug info.
+ This actually is a bug on the server side, that the evolution developers
+ have worked around.
  
- This appears to be a Microsoft bug, please upvote -
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * You need a EWS server, the best instructions are from
  https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-
  US/9952d9ea-6040-46b8-93d7-f163c09acd70/bug-in-ews-invalid-ical-format-
  if-recurrent-event-modified?forum=exchangesvrdevelopment
+ 
+ Basically:
+ 
+     1. Create a recurring event with no end date. E.g. every Monday at 10am 
on OWA/Outlook Online (I used as start date 29th of August 2016)
+     2. Query the calendar item through EWS and check the MimeContent field. 
It's OK, it contains a END:VCALENDAR
+     3. Change a single instance by moving it to Tuesday 10am (in OWA), I 
moved the one from 19th September to 20st September 2016
+     4. Now query the recurrent calendar item again and voilĂ : the 
"END:VCALENDAR" is now missing
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+  * EWS plugin breaks in other ways.
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+  
+  * This appears to be fixed in 16.10 updates and definitely in Zesty
+  * No testers have come forward about 14.04 and the code has diverged a bit 
since then.  (I don't have a test environment for this, so any fix would rely 
on other testers)
