[O365] [EWSMA 2.0] [C#] [Windows] How do you create a contact folder that resides under the "My Contacts" node in OWA for O365

Question

In OWA for Office 365 you can create a contact folder that resides under the "My Contacts" node on "Peoples" tab. This folder ends up appearing under the "Contacts" folder in the exchange store. However, if you attempt to create
a contact folder under "My Contacts" using Outlook it ends up under "Other Contacts" node in OWA for O365. Even if you attempt to position folder at the root of exchange store it still places it under the "Other Contacts" folder.
The same is also true if you attempt to create a folder using EWS. Is there a way to create a folder using EWS that will appear under the "My Contacts" node in OWA for O365? I've tried the following with no luck:
ContactsFolder myContactsFolder = new ContactsFolder(EwsService);
myContactsFolder.DisplayName = "My contacts folder";
// Set other properties
myContactsFolder.Save(WellKnownFolderName.Contacts);
and
ContactsFolder myContactsFolder = newContactsFolder(EwsService);
myContactsFolder.DisplayName = "My contacts folder";
// Set other properties
myContactsFolder.Save(WellKnownFolderName.MsgFolderRoot);

Hi Tony,
Lots of questions, here goes:
CAN YOU: Yes.  You can create multiple server nodes.  You can add a server node by going into the Visual Administrator and clicking the add node button.  Make sure you have the required space on the physical drive to accomodate the space needed for the new node (hint: check the space of your existing node).
PERFORMANCE: Yes, maybe.  If you are running on a 32bit OS, yes, this will definitely improve your performance as you are most likely memory constrained at the moment.  If you are running on an x64 or 64bit OS, you will find that performance will improve but only to the extent that you have memory free and that you have available CPU for the new node.  Remember Java processes are CPU hogs at times, especially during startup, and the more of them you have, the more CPU you need.  Also, watch out for garbage collections.  Be sure to tune your instance to with incrementals and fulls in mind.  Another benefit of multiple nodes is the HA you get by default when you add more than 1 node.  Now if 1 node should crash or restart, your portal is still running and accessible on the other node.
PARAMETERS: Yes and no.  For java startup parameters, you can create a template under the global --> servers to have your parameters be all the same  When you create a node, those parameters will be used.   But, your currently configured child configuration parameters will not be reflected in the new instance since those parameters are taken from the global (parent).  This is what the global is for and you should consider adjusting the global if you want your child nodes to have consistant values.
Let me know if you have more questions.
