Hi,
yes, it's correct. There's required the parent folder to be able to
traverse the folder structure, where you instruct evolution-ews to use
the Inbox as the parent, thus it doesn't see the sibling folders.

Do you expect two Sent folders? The only way I can think of, according
to your description, is that there will be some Outgoing filter, which
will copy messages to the foreign Sent folder when certain conditions
are met. You'll still be the sender, not the shared mailbox. Unless you
use impersonation. You didn't say so though.

> any way to accomplish this?

As I said earlier, you only need to know the ID of the folder. Let
someone whom can login to the shared mailbox open it in Evolution with
evolution-ews. Then right-click respective folders and pick
"Permissions..." (this works for all kinds, not only mails, thus also
for calendars, books,...) and see at the top the "Folder ID" part. You
can click into it and copy it somewhere (note it's a very long base64-
encoded blob, thus make sure you copy it whole). Then use this Folder
ID in the "Subscribe to folder of other user" dialog, instead of the
Inbox folder (users can write anything there, not only select
predefined values from the combo), then continue as before.

Maybe there's a way to get such folder ID from other clients too, but I
never tried it myself. The folder ID should also come from the EWS
protocol; for example that shown with evolution-mapi doesn't work with
evolution-ews and vice versa.

Bye,

Thx for the explanation, Milan.. :)

Have a follow up question. I only get the Inbox and not the other folders at 
the same level as Inbox (like Sent, etc). Is that correct or should I be
able to see the other folders also (i.e. this is not subfolders of the inbox)?
Since I do not get the Sent folder, I am not able to send/reply to emails and 
have the messages stored in the Sent folder of the shared mailbox, any
way to accomplish this?

Hi,
that page is nicely old, it says Evolution 3.6.2. Some things are the
same, some are different these days. With Bjørn's 3.26.5 the "Subscribe
to folder of other user" contains "Include subfolders" checkbox, which
can import whole folder structure. They also mention that only a
limited set of folders can be subscribed to, but it's the opposite,
users can subscribe to literally any folder, they only need to know its
ID, which can be seen in folder's Permissions dialog. The evolution-ews 
doesn't support parsing and general work with "User shares a folder
with you" emails [1]. They also mention the Permissions dialog cannot
add new users, which had been fixed meanwhile.

It's also possible to impersonate the account, like to create an
account which opens mailbox of another user. There are some settings on
the server to allow such access to some users.

The only thing is that the option to "Subscribe to folder of other
user" is too hidden. It used to be in File menu, but since users can
configure multiple EWS accounts it would be misleading. I've got an
idea to extend the dialog with a combo to pick which account should be
used (which will be shown only when needed). I thought there had been a
bug for it, but I cannot find it now.

Hope it helps,
Milan

First internet search result for "evolution-ews" "shared mailbox" is
https://kb.wisc.edu/page.php?id=28785 . For "Interact with a shared
mailbox", it states "You can subscribe to other user's folders (see
note below), but even if you have permission to do so, it doesn't seem
possible to get their entire mailbox structure at once."
(Milan may correct me if that is outdated.)

You could subscribe to specific folders though:
