Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC6 completely up-to-date with: evolution-data-server-1.8.1-1.fc6 evolution-2.8.1.1-3.fc6 evolution-webcal-2.7.1-6 beagle-evolution-0.2.10-5.fc6 evolution-connector-2.8.1-1.fc6 evolution-sharp-0.11.1-10.fc6 evolution-data-server-devel-1.8.1-1.fc6 How reproducible: Always. Never shows sub-folders. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run evolution and connect to Exchange server with sub-folders. 2. 3. Actual results: No subfolders displayed. Expected results: sub-folders displayed. Additional info: Here's a link to the Ubuntu bug: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/evolution-data-server/+bug/63797 and here is Gnome's: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=360593
I'm seeing the same behvaviour. For what it's worth, the gnome bug report mentions a workaround: toggling between offline and online mode may help in gettting to see the subfolders again. But evolution may fail in new, mysterious ways as well....
(In reply to comment #1) The "workaround" works for me as well but... probably not how the functional requirements were written.
The workaround does not work for me :o(
Created attachment 140281 [details] Patch borrowed from Debian that fixes the missing subfolders
I've just rolled my own RPM (heh, by patching the source tarball not doing it properly because it's a Friday afternoon) with the debian patch above applied, and my folders came back... Go Me!
Patch did not work for me. :(

The workaround doesn't work for me :( Please make new rpms. Thank you.
for those having trouble to get the workaround working: like most features in Evolution it appears to have a race condition :-( To win the race, in my experience the following works best: open evolution switch to offline close evolution reopen evolution hopefully see your subfolders switch back to online hope this helps. Of course fixing the bug would be better... <comments on quality of evolution code deleted>
This still didn't do it for me.
I have installed Evolution-2.8.1.1 and the bug is still present. Can you please confirm that 2.8.1.1 solves this bug?
Regarding comment #13, this is the version of Evolution against which the bugs has been originally reported. So, it doesn't include the fix.

Created attachment 141425 [details] evolution-data-server SPEC file patch to include evolution-exchange-restore-folders.patch
I was experiencing this same issue with: evolution-2.8.1.1-3.fc6 evolution-devel-2.8.1.1-3.fc6 evolution-webcal-2.7.1-6 evolution-data-server-devel-1.8.1-1 beagle-evolution-0.2.10-6.fc6 evolution-connector-2.8.1-1.fc6 evolution-data-server-1.8.1-1 evolution-sharp-0.11.1-10.fc6 I downloaded the latest SRPM for evolution-data-server, evolution-data-server-1.8.1-1.fc6.src.rpm, applied the patch from comment #5 above, and updated the spec file as in the patch from comment #16 above. This resolved the issue for me. If you need RPMs to fix this before an official update is released, I've put my RPMs up here: http://vodka.library.oregonstate.edu/files/evolution-data-server-1.8.1-2.i386.rpm http://vodka.library.oregonstate.edu/files/evolution-data-server-devel-1.8.1-2.i386.rpm
Thanks for the patch! This should land in Fedora Updates Testing shortly. evolution-data-server-1.8.1-2.fc6
I installed the evolution-data-server-1.8.1-2.fc6 from Fedora Updates Testing this morning and it resolves the issue for me. All of my sub-folders are back.
The solution for me is to use Evolution 2.8 - version that shipped with Fedora Core 6, because that one works great. Don't upgrade to 2.8.1 of 2.8.1.1
evolution-data-server-1.8.1-2.fc6 (from testing) fixes the problem here.
evolution-data-server-1.8.1-2.fc6 from testing works for me too. Thanks!
Just updated to evolution-data-server-1.8.1-2.fc6 from updates. I can definitely see subfolders now... As an additional benefit calendar alerts seem to work now too :-)
