Hi,
nope, really no way to filter for rooms etc in evolution right now.

Ah, I see. That is tight to OAB URL from the preview tab of the
account editor. If that is filled, then the "Default GAL" is a
detected (you should click the 'Fetch List' button beside the combo)
GAL which can be copied locally. Such GAL gives more detailed
information for the contacts (still no distinguishment between an
individual, an organization, a room,....), but definitely more fields
than with an "online" look up. If I recall correctly the "Default
Global Address List" is a prefilled string by evolution-ews, when
nothing was found. I'd not expect this being due to migration, it's
more about server setup.

My server returns simple "Global Address List", as it's the name which
it is configured with on the server.
You can see some debugging when you run evolution as:
$ EWS_DEBUG=2 evolution
then go to the account editor, wait till the buzz on the console ends,
and then click "Fetch List" button. You'll see what the server
returns, whether anything useful or any error. Again, to have this
offline GAL working you should have filled the OAB URL on the previous
tab, which is usually populated during an autodiscover process, when
the Fetch URL button is pressed.
Bye,
Milan
