I should have thought about this. This was the case. I had to get through one more subdir, so to connect 
Evolutions addressbook to a Mac server (ssl enabled), you should use the following URL:

https://server:8843/addressbooks/users/<username>/addressbook

This perfectly works - so thanks for your reply.

Wait, let me put this in other words: There are clients that just try to get through such URL that end with 
".../users", ".../users/addressbook" or something like this, so they just get through all possibilities - is 
that correct? If yes: Is there any particular reason why Evolution does not do this?
