@eburkland maybe you can also give some information of the exchange server version and what ews-java-api version you are using.

[aruge]

Hi, we get this exception receiving a field containing only whitespaces. ews-java-api version is 2.0-20150321.214216-2

[atamer]

337 may fix this, could you try please ?

[serious6]

@aruge can you confirm #364 solves that problem?
