How were SyncEvolution and activesyncd installed? What is your Linux distro?
The error indicates that a method in the libeas failed:
handler = EasSyncHandlerCXX::steal(eas_sync_handler_new(account.c_str()));
if (!handler) throwError("findCollections cannot allocate sync handler");
Please run:
SYNCEVOLUTION_DEBUG=1 syncevolution --print-databases loglevel=4
username=$email backend=eas-events
What's the output?

--- Comment #3 from Patrick Ohly <patrick.ohly(a)gmx.de> ---
Looks like this code inside eas_sync_handler_new is failing:
if (! eas_gdbus_client_init(&object->priv->eas_client, account_uid,
&error)) {
g_object_unref (object);
return NULL;
}
Incidentally, that code fails to print the error and leaks it, which probably
explains why there is no real error message.
Do you run syncevolution inside a D-Bus session with DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
set?
syncevolution contacts activesyncd via D-Bus, and not being able to connect to
D-Bus is the only way how eas_gdbus_client_init() can fail.
Indeed, I can reproduce the error when DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is not set and
auto-launching D-Bus is impossible.
https://syncevolution.org/wiki/ms-exchange-and-kde-synchronization does not
call out that requirement explicitly. It's implied in that HOWTO because it
assumes that Akonadi and KDE are already working, which implies D-Bus.
For starting D-Bus, see for example this mail thread:

Sorry, I forgot to answer your earlier question: My system is a headless Ubuntu
Saucy, updated weekly. That also answers your last question... no d-bus session
running. I tried starting the print-databases command with the script at
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/SyncEvolution/syncevolution/plain/test/dbus-s...,
I now get:

503 sounds like activesyncd is really talking to the ActiveSync server and
getting that error back. Perhaps logs of activesyncd or the ActiveSync server
explain that?
For local logging, set EAS_DEBUG and (to avoid flooding the console)
EAS_DEBUG_FILE before running activesyncd.
For example:
dbus-session.sh bash
EAS_DEBUG_FILE=activesyncd.log EAS_DEBUG=5 <path>/activesyncd
syncevolution --print-databases ...

When I run this:
export EAS_DEBUG=5
./dbus-session.sh /usr/libexec/activesyncd syncevolution --print-databases

Perhaps try this:
export EAS_DEBUG=5 SYNCEVOLUTION_DEBUG=1
./dbus-session.sh /usr/libexec/activesyncd syncevolution --daemon=no
--print-databases username=$email backend=eas-events
That's a bit simpler because SyncEvolution doesn't try to move execution into
syncevo-dbus-server. That should work, but who knows.
it produces only this (and doesn't return):
Auto-launching activesyncd seems to work. No idea why there is no further
output.

When I run this:
export EAS_DEBUG=5
./dbus-session.sh /usr/libexec/activesyncd syncevolution --print-databases

Sorry, I didn't spot the mistake. This command starts /usr/libexec/activesyncd
with "syncevolution --print-databases username=$email backend=eas-events" as
parameters. It then ignores the parameters and just keeps running.
What I had proposed is different: start a bash inside the D-Bus session, then
the individual commands one-by-one. Each line is a single command.
dbus-session.sh bash
EAS_DEBUG_FILE=activesyncd.log EAS_DEBUG=5 /usr/libexec/activesyncd &

You haven't told activesyncd about your password, have you? Normally it'll ask
for it via ssh-askpass, but that won't work without X.
You can temporarily set the password in gconf:
gconftool-2 --set --type=string /apps/activesyncd/accounts/$email/password
$password
Then at runtime, activesyncd will move that password to GNOME keyring. For that
to work, gnome-keyring must be started manually inside the D-Bus session.

But I thought the 3rd gconftool call was supposed to store the password so
gcr-prompter wouldn't be necessary? Could it be related perhaps to gconftool-2

GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL=/run/user/1000/keyring-g51NwC

Right, I forgot that dbus-session.sh does it automatically if
gnome-keyring-daemon (not gnome-keyring) is installed.
If I then start the script below with:

Sorry, another unexpected prerequisite: the keyring must be usable without an
explicit unlock via the UI.
I think this can be achieved by creating one in plain text; at least that is
what I am using in the nightly testing:
$ cat ~/.gnome2/keyrings/default
default
nightly@syncev:~$ cat ~/.gnome2/keyrings/default.keyring
[keyring]
display-name=default
lock-on-idle=false
lock-after=false
Could it be related perhaps to
gconftool-2 being called rather than gconftool in the first two config
commands?
On my Debian Wheezy, gconftool is an alias for gconftool-2, so no, that
shouldn't matter.

Is that still from the gnome-keyring-daemon? Just wondering.
Is there a chance to temporarily log into the server with X forwarding so that
you can see what gcr-prompert is asking for?
I truly do appreciate you sticking with this BTW.
I was more worried that you would give up ;-)
You are trying something that has not been attempted before and I am interested
in getting it to work. I hope that once it works, you'll be able to write up a
dedicated HOWTO.

New subject: [Bug 76273] list-databases yields error "findCollections cannot allocate sync handler"
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76273
--- Comment #19 from Patrick Ohly <patrick.ohly(a)gmx.de> ---
I just had some spare cycles and tried it myself.
My environment is Debian Wheezy. activesyncd 0.92+20140218+SE+4613c97-1 and
SyncEvolution 1.4 from syncevolution.org.
I created a test user and cleaned its home directory before doing a "sudo su -
tester".
Then I created a keyring as discussed:
$ mkdir -p ~/.gnome2/keyrings/
$ echo default >~/.gnome2/keyrings/default
$ cat >~/.gnome2/keyrings/default.keyring <<EOF
[keyring]
display-name=default
lock-on-idle=false
lock-after=false
EOF
# gnome-keyring-daemon expects .cache to exist.
$ mkdir ~/.cache
$ mkdir ~/.config
$ dbus-session.sh bash
$ gconftool-2 --set --type=string
/apps/activesyncd/accounts/${EXCHANGE_MAILADDR}/username "$EXCHANGE_USER"
$ gconftool-2 --set --type=string
/apps/activesyncd/accounts/${EXCHANGE_MAILADDR}/serverUri "$EXCHANGE_URL"
$ gconftool-2 --set --type=string
/apps/activesyncd/accounts/${EXCHANGE_MAILADDR}/password "$EXCHANGE_PASSWORD"

I've tried to capture your scenario in a script; I'm getting a permission
denied error. This script was run in the context of a freshly setup user; the
only thing I did was add the EXCHANGE variables to its .bashrc

Looks like Ubuntu Saucy needs XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (see
http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html) set.
This is part of the normal user session setup and needs to be duplicated
manually when starting a custom D-Bus session.
For now, you can do:
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=`mktemp -d`
before invoking dbus-session.sh. The directory can be removed when the session
ends.
Eventually I'll probably have to add that to dbus-session.sh. I wonder whether
that explains some of the random problems that I have seen with parallel
testing on Saucy and Ubuntu: multiple different D-Bus sessions probably ended
up using the same /run/user dir.

Huzzah! No more errors! Does XDG_RUNTIME_DIR have to point to a temporary
directory, or could I just run it against a fixed directory that I clear before
run?
As soon as I sync set up, I'll definitely do a write-up. What is the best place
for further discussion should I have questions?

It can be a fixed directory, but it needs to be cleaned before running.

The mailing list (syncevolution at syncevolution.org) would be good.

dbus-session.sh + XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
Here's the version of dbus-session.sh that I am currently testing. It creates
and deletes the runtime dir in /tmp.
The directory can be in /tmp, it's content should be small.

OK, that works. I'm getting
g_dbus_connection_real_closed: Remote peer vanished with error: Underlying
GIOStream returned 0 bytes on an async read (g-io-error-quark, 0). Exiting.
after the tmp dir is removed, but I assume it's a harmless artifact at this
point.

Probably there was some process running which relied on D-Bus. Are you sure
it's related to removing the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and not jsut shutting down the
D-Bus daemon?
As you said, it should be harmless.

No, I'm not sure, I just didn't see it before. In anycase, it doesn't seem to
affect syncevolution.

The updated dbus-session.sh script with XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is in master and
SyncEvolution 1.4.1 (currently available as individual download and from the
"unstable" repo on syncevolution.org).
I still need to enhance error handling in activesyncd, in particular the leak
of the GError.

Looks like this code inside eas_sync_handler_new is failing:
if (! eas_gdbus_client_init(&object->priv->eas_client, account_uid,
&error)) {
g_object_unref (object);
return NULL;
}
Incidentally, that code fails to print the error and leaks it, which
probably explains why there is no real error message.

eassync: handle error when D-Bus is unavailable
When D-Bus is unavailable and cannot be started,
eas_sync_handler_new() neither printed the error nor did it clear it.
Found as part of FDO #76273.
