Re: [Evolution-hackers] sharing IMAP folders between users

Yes, that's a known bug. It's not *supposed* to show up though.

The command itself doesn't do a whole lot. It pops up a dialog
(/usr/share/evolution/1.4/glade/e-shell-shared-folder-picker-dialog.glade) to let the user pick whose folder(s) to add, and then sends a CORBA request to the storage in question asking it to open the folder. (In the Exchange case, Connector then looks up the user in the global catalog to find their Exchange server and then tries to access their mailbox, etc.)

There's no reason the mailer couldn't be extended to support this
command as well for IMAP storages, but this would require some rewriting
of the Camel IMAP provider, which currently assumes that it's only
working with one namespace.
