        Hi,
there's used NSS for it, which rejects to import it for some reason.
Unless evolution failed to provide the password to the NSS library
properly (any UTF-8 letters involved in the password?), of course.

You are right. That code wasn't updated for some time.

Please, file a bug report in GNOME bugzilla [1] to track any proposed
patches there. It's much easier than here on the list. Do not forget to
post here the bug number you may file, thus users and archive readers
can find it in the future.

Maybe you are aware of it, but just in case, this page can help you to
build evolution:

        Thanks and bye,
        Milan
