Description John Leach 2004-10-15 11:01:56 UTC
Description of Problem:
Subfolders are not displayed when viewing an Exchange public mail folder
from the favourites.


Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Add a public mail folder containing subfolders to favourites
2. Browse to folder from favourites list
3. Notice lack of subfolders :)

Whilst playing around with this I found that if I create a new sub folder
in the favourite, it is displayed correctly but once I restart Evolution,
it's not shown again.
Comment 1 vivek jain 2005-03-30 11:14:26 UTC
It behaves the same way in Outlook. Creating a subfolder in favourite
doesn't make any sense, that should be disallowed. However, making a
public folder favourite will just make the top level folder favorite,
not the children.
Comment 2 John Leach 2005-03-30 15:27:53 UTC
Then consider this a feature request.  A convenient way to access a
child public folder and it's descendents.

I'd recommend some way of adding it and it's children to the
favourites.  Preferably with it's children as sub-nodes.

Reassiging these to the maintainer 'surfy'.

Comment 8 Sushma Rai 2006-05-04 10:46:35 UTC
From 2.4.x onwards, Exchange button is gone and public folders are accessed 
using Folder->subscriptions menu, which shows the folder tree with the check
boxes infront of each node, which makes the job easier,
and #268412 can be closed.

But in 2.4.x, only top level public folders where displayed,
as in bug #316414 and bug #335520, and the above patch fixes
this issue.
Comment 9 Sushma Rai 2006-05-10 08:56:56 UTC
Patch committed to CVS head and gnome-2-14 braches.
Comment 10 Sushma Rai 2006-07-31 11:47:00 UTC
I am reopening the bug, as I have reverted the patch from gnome-2-14 branch and
making it critical. 

The patch above is partial.
Now we need to fix the part of downloading huge public folders issue
discussed in bug #346728.
Comment 11 Veerapuram Varadhan 2006-09-30 13:04:01 UTC
Committed a fix for HEAD/2.8.x - please feel free to reopen if it is reproducible again.
Comment 12 Veerapuram Varadhan 2006-10-12 12:27:08 UTC
re-opening the bug as the fix committed earlier is reverted.
Comment 13 Srinivasa Ragavan 2006-10-12 12:41:25 UTC
Reverted the last commit. This has to be fixed by improving the performance on fetching the folder tree.

Comment 15 Srinivasa Ragavan 2006-11-22 09:06:35 UTC
This enables subfolders for public folders and also solves the issue of slow startup at evolution. This is just a initial patch. we are working on improving the performance of fetching the public folders in subscribe window anyways. Can any one try this patch.
Comment 16 Veerapuram Varadhan 2006-12-18 20:11:24 UTC
A more appropriate fix is committed to 2.9.4.  Now, public folders are loaded on-demand and hence, reduces memory consumption as well.  I am working on another round of optimization that should further increase the performance w.r.t accessing public folders.
Comment 17 Veerapuram Varadhan 2007-01-19 13:07:40 UTC
Second round of optimizations are committed to HEAD and are available in 2.9.5 release.  Please check out and give your feedbacks.  For now, I am closing this bug as fixed.
