At present, no.  But I've completely rewritten the account editor on a
branch I'm hoping to merge during 3.5, and I can easily add a hook for
adding your button from an extension.

What you'll wind up doing is writing another EExtension subclass that
targets this class, which is not yet in 'master' branch:

http://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/tree/mail/e-mail-config-defaults-page.h?h=account-mgmt

Then I'll add a new function to that class for you to call to append a
new button.  Not sure exactly what it will look like yet.
