        Hi,
subscribing to other than the default folders is possible, but it's
tricky, because you need an Exchange Web Services folder ID to do that.
One way, if the other person uses the Evolution as well, is to
right-click the shared calendar in his/her account and pick
"Permissions...". There's the folder ID shown at the top. It can be
selected and copied out. Just make sure you copy the whole text (it's
lengthy; do not be afraid of the three dots, which are only a visual
thing).

With respect of the share invitation mails handling, that's filled here:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution-ews/-/issues/90

It contains some information on how to convert the information from the
mail's XML (which you have) to EWS ID (which you need), but calling it
is tricky. I just added some steps how to manually convert the sharing
invitation ID to EWS ID there. Hope it helps.
        Bye,
        Milan
