SeaMonkey 2.32 is based on Gecko 35 that changed how JavaScript variables are handled, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/35#JavaScript

It seem that the Exchange EWS provider extension has not been updated to the new behavior. From a first look the problem might be located in https://github.com/Ericsson/exchangecalendar/blob/v3.3.1-rc2/interfaces/exchangeBaseItem/mivExchangeBaseItem.js#L3811 because the variable attendee is already declared in https://github.com/Ericsson/exchangecalendar/blob/v3.3.1-rc2/interfaces/exchangeBaseItem/mivExchangeBaseItem.js#L3805 but there might be more incorrect usages.

Resolving as Invalid because this has to be fixed by the author of the Exchange EWS provider extension to support applications based on Gecko 35.

I also got this error on upgrade of Thunderbird to 38.1 (redeclaration of var attendee). The problem was fixed by finding the latest version (3.4.0) of Exchange EWS Provider which nowdays has a different maintainer since I installed it first time (ver 3.2) which I guess is why i has not been updated for a long time.

Can you point to the repo of the new maintainer, please?
