	Hi,
see how evolution-exchange provides the same functionality of Folder
Permissions, it just adds a popup menu item and servers all what is
needed without any special modification on evolution side. The same
should apply for the folder type annotation editing - no change on
evolution should be needed.

With respect of creating a new folder on the kolab server other than
mail: when you do File->New->Calendar and select the Kolab group, is it
able to create a new folder and annotate it accordingly to the source
group? Evolution-mapi provides a short folder list with folders of the
certain type from which user can choose and under this is created the
new calendar (or address book). Again, no change on evo side is needed
for this.
	Bye,
	Milan
