Evolution does not see new public folders created while Evo in running

Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you are doing. Description of Problem: If an other account creates a new sub-folder in an Exchange public folder that has already been opened in the current evolution session, then Evolution will not see the new sub-folder until it is restarted. Expected Results: Ideally Evolution would see the new folder as soon as it is created. Since that is not possible one possible solution would be to refresh the Public Folder tree when send/receive is pressed while an Exchange Public folder is selected in the folder tree.
Evolution also does not remove Exchange Public folders from the folder tree that have been deleted by other accounts during the Evo session.
Note that the package "evolution-exchange" is deprecated nowadays. Similar functionality is now provided by "evolution-mapi" and "evolution-ews" packages. This bug was reported against a version that is now not supported anymore. Could you please check if the problem that you reported here still happens with a recent version of Evolution (like 3.2 or 3.0) AND with either evolution-mapi or evolution-ews? Thanks in advance!
Closing this bug report as no updated information has been provided. Please reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of Evolution (currently this means: preferably version 3.2.x) and provide the information that was asked for in the previous comment. Again thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed for the version that you originally used when reporting this problem.
