[Evolution-users] How to put folders at the same level as Inbox (and no inside)

[Gabriel GUILLET]

This is a laposte.net email account (the server name is 
imap.laposte.net). I've not managed to know if this server is based on 
Cyrus. But your first explanation seems to be the good one as:

  - in my webmail, every folders are displayed at the same level

  - in Evolution, I tried to move folders (currently inside Inbox) to 
the same level of Inbox and I obtained an error

Moreover, I've had the same issue in Thunderbird and I solved it 
following the procedure given in the part "Pourquoi les dossiers 
spéciaux apparaissent-ils en sous-dossiers de « Courriers entrants » ?" 
of the procedure described on this website: 
https://support.mozilla.org/fr/kb/configurer-les-dossiers-speciaux-dun-compte-imap 
(just look at the first picture)

So, Thunderbird offers an option which allows to display every folders 
at the same level while entering the name of the root folder on the 
server. What should I do to obtain the same result with Evolution?
