        Hi,
unfortunately, Evolution doesn't support login with certificates, not
even in the current development version (3.13.1). Such functionality
might be developed in the future, but there is no ETA for it. It might
be good to search bugzilla ( http://bugzilla.gnome.org ) and see whether
Evolution or evolution-data-server has filled such bug report, and
eventually fill a new one with the request.
