        Hi,
there was a Google Summer of Code project providing fetch of X.509
certificates (for S/MIME, which MS Exchange supports) from address
books. It took the certificates from Global Address List (GAL), as
advertised by the MS Exchange server. It's filled here:
for LDAP: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203251
for address books in general: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=704246

The work is currently blocked on NSS. Feel free to join the later bug,
the reporter has better overview of the subject.
        Bye,
        Milan
