Feature: Autodetect server folder variants for local folders and use them
Reason: To store mails on the server, being accessible from multiple machines
Result: IMAP accounts pair server folders for usage like Draft or Sent folders after the first run, or when asked to in account Preferences, thus such messages are stored on the server side, available from any client, not only from the machine where they were created.

Still reproducible in evolution-3.12.11-2.el7 (In reply to Jiri Koten from comment #3) > Still reproducible in evolution-3.12.11-2.el7 Right, it's waiting for the upstream bug fix first. Devel-nacking, it's a feature, might not be done before RHEL 7.3 for sure. It can have also side effects, like users might not expect to use real trash/junk folders on the server when they are used to virtual folders - such change would be a regression to them. I just fixed this upstream (see the above GNOME bug). The change can be done without API/ABI change, but it requires changes in three packages: evolution-data-server, evolution and evolution-ews. I can backport it, if all three packages will have its bug reports (eds has this one) and all three packages will be approved for an update. I pushed evolution-data-server changes for this as part of the bug #1265684. There are still missing changes for the evolution part, thus I move this to the evolution component. I also mentioned above that a change on the evolution-ews side should be done too, but it's only a nice-to-have, it's not mandatory. The fix also adds "Lookup folders" button into Mail account properties, on the Defaults tab, which is shown only if the account type supports this feature. Once it's clicked, the account tries to pair real folders on the server with those in the Defaults tab. This is also done the first time the account connects to the server after it is created. *** Bug 1348815 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
