Evolution doesn't yet support STARTTLS.

Sweet:)  One last thing.  When sending mail through SMTP w/ SSL,
Evolution seems to connect to SSMTP immidiately.  Isn't the standard
behavior to connect to SMTP, and do a "STARTTLS" command?  Also not
really a big deal, as I can just run stunnel or something, but Postfix
doesn't seem to like that very much.

Also handled by NSS. You should have a utility that comes with nss
called certutil for adding/modifying your certificate database.

Btw, the Evolution certificate db is in ~/evolution.

Oh well, only a minor inconvenience.  Does Evolution have a list of CA's
somewhere, or is that also handled by NSS?

We can't display that extra bit of information because the library
itself doesn't tell us. Evolution is in the dark just as much as you
are.

Hey,
      When Evolution fails to verify a certificate's authenticity, it
displays a generic "Failed to verify" message, but it would be much more
helpful if it were a bit more verbose about why it failed.  In my case,
I'm using a self-signed certificate for TLS w/ Postfix & Courier IMAP.
It would be helpful if Evolution had a certificate import function, a la
Netscape Messenger(Where you can specify whether to keep the
certificate, etc).  Actually, a utility to import external CA
certificates would be even better, but not a necessity:)
