Ideally, I would like messages to be moved to "Deleted Items" when I
delete them, but even the current way (marking them as deleted
instead), is OK to me. If the second way is going to stay, then I
would like to have some virtual Trash. I did not find the way to
create a search folders that would show deleted items for me. It is
possible to use such criteria (status=deleted), but all the messages
in such search folder will be hidden :)

Anyway, I found the commit where you disable Trash, so I will be able
to enable it myself for me only.

Address auto-complete works perfectly with the last version from git. Thanks!

Contacts still do not seem to show on the contacts tab in evolution,
but auto-complete is more than enough for me.

Generally, EWS works extremely nice and much more stable than
evolution-mapi used to. Thank you for your great job!
