Thanks for a bug report. Evolution recognizes the special folder only if it is truly special, like when the account has it set as a Sent folder in the Properties->Defaults tab. Otherwise the folder is considered as a regular folder. Does your MAPI account has it set as the Sent folder too? By the way, I thought the evolution-mapi is mostly useless these days, with compare of the lightweight dependencies of the evolution-ews (even the EWS is for Exchange servers 2007+).

Given your above explanation, that's probably the reason why this bug is occurring. > By the way, I thought the evolution-mapi is mostly useless these days, with > compare of the lightweight dependencies of the evolution-ews (even the EWS > is for Exchange servers 2007+). No, no - not useless at all! Where I work, EWS is blocked (quite recently) and MAPI is the only way for me to pick mail up. In fact, it is faster and more reliable than EWS. So, if you were planning on taking it out, please don't. :-) (In reply to Bojan Smojver from comment #2) > The option is greyed out and set to Computer/Sent.

Tehn it's an error on the evolution side, because the Sent Items is properly "highlighted" as a special folder (it has a special icon). > No, no - not useless at all!

There is no plan to fully deprecate it, as it's the only connector which can connect to pre-Exchange 2007 servers. My personal experience is that it's slower than evolution-ews, but maybe the things are more about my route to the server (and server itself), than anything else. If you'd like to share your bad experience with the evolution-ews, then I'll be happy to hear about that. I fixed the folder recognition for the next releases: Created commit 033dcf8 in evo master (3.21.2+) [1] Created commit 7323e89 in evo gnome-3-20 (3.20.2+) [1] https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/commit/?id=033dcf8 A change from [2] extends the previous fix a bit.
