You can try modify (at your own risk) the version of exchange 20072010
calendar.xpi add on:

Download the current 1.8.5 addon from 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/exchange-20072010-calendar-/
Open it with xarchiver (or whatever you want), modify the line
"<em:maxVersion>13.0a1</em:maxVersion>") into install.rdf file like this
"<em:maxVersion>15.0a1</em:maxVersion>", save the file and re-unzip the
add on.
Now you can uninstall old add on and install this new (fake) add on in
thunderbird 15.0 ... should work, maybe ...

For come back to official old package you may run:
"sudo yum downgrade thunderbird*"

Or download v14 (i686 or x86_64) from http://rpm.pbone.net :

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat=26&dist=84&size=39364921&name=thunderbird-14.0-1.fc17.x86_64.rpm

Bye
