Hi Maxim,

libmapi allows and implements this behavior. We provide a call to "open
public folders" only (OpenPublicFolder), then if you want to list the
folders and its hierarchy, you need to go through a set of calls. This
behavior is implemented when you run openchangeclient --pf --mailbox and
I think this may be the behavior evolution implements by default.

So this is something which needs to be modified on evolution side.

libmapi implements permissions (add/remove/delete), but does not provide
yet a convenient way to subscribe/access other user's folders. This is
an improvement which should be available once I've merged and updated
the multisession patch in trunk.

I don't think the evo-mapi team yet had the time to implement the GUI
for this - up to them to provide further information about this ;-)

Cheers,
Julien.
