        Hi,
subscriptions are handled on the server, the server knows where you are
subscribed and where not. From the second log (which shows less buzz
around):

The LIST shows known folders, while the LSUB shows subscribed folders,
but even that requires to have returned certain folder flags, like the
\Subscribed. None of these is returned by your server, thus, as I
understand it, the server doesn't know that you are subscribed to that
folder. You can use Folder->Subscriptions in Evolution to
subscribe/unsubscribe from certain folders. Evolution shows only the
personal folders, not all the other users or shared, and that yours
belongs to the 'shared' namespace, from which Evolution shows only
subscribed folders.
        Bye,
