        Hi,
the monthly release is correct. I'm not aware of any nightly builds, 
they are not done by the Evolution team for sure. I'm not sure whether 
this will reach 3.12.x (stable), but it should reach the development 
version (3.13.x) soon. If I'm not mistaken, then the merge is awaiting 
for some fixes on the EWS side and then on a final review from dwmw2.

The should be, but just in case I added them to CC now.

You might check whether evolution-data-server reads the certificate 
from your LDAP server. I briefly looked into the code and it seems 
like it should read the information from a "userCertificate" LDAP 
attribute.
