        Hi,
you cannot do this directly from evolution (as of 3.13.5), but the 
possibility is there. It is currently (including 3.12.x) implemented 
only for ownCloud accounts configured by GNOME Online Accounts. The 
owncloud-backend module for evolution-data-server [1] recognized the 
ownCloud account from GOA and asks the server for all available 
calendars and books, then adds each of them as available source, which 
can be used by anything using evolution-data-server as its data source 
(like Evolution, gnome-shell, ...).

here is a plan to write such discovery utility into evolution for 
CalDAV/WebDAV servers, but it got lower in a ToDo list.
        Bye,
        Milan
