Searching the web for the error message leads to these bug reports:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1757243
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/issues/587

Apparently Evolution does not work properly with WebKitGTK 2.26.
Backporting all the upstream changes looks cumbersome, but I suppose we
could do something like this until we have GNOME 3.34:

Thoughts?  Are you able to give it a try?

Thanks,
