Sync CategoryList with mail Labels
Description
The email label syncing is not quite working for me with a Microsoft Exchange account. I've noticed the following behavior:
Creating a label in Evolution
-
A label assigned to an email in Evolution will sync with the ews account and will show up as a label ("categories" in Outlook) with the correct name, if the name was specified in evolution, but with no color information. If the name is a standard name ("To Do", etc.) it will only show up as "blue category" etc.
-
The available label list (managing the labels) is not synced at all via Evolution. I.e. a label created and edited in Evolution does not show up in any Outlook instance. Across multiple Outlook instances, the label list is in fact synced, including color information.
Creating a label in Outlook
-
A label assigned to an email in Outlook does not show up in Evolution at all.
-
Labels created in Outlook do not sync to Evolution
In my opinion, the last two point are the most severe, but it would be very nice to get all of them working as it would greatly improve the smooth transition between Outlook and Evolution use.
System Information
I am on an up-to-date Arch Linux using Evolution 3.30.1 . The Outlook versions I have tested the mentioned behavior with are Outlook 2016 as well as a current Outlook Web Access instance.
