        Hi,
Evolution uses glib's gio streams, which use gnutls in the background.
Evolution (or Camel from evolution-data-server, to be precise) used to
use NSS/NSPR for this (I'm always confused which is for what from these
two), but it's a long time ago. I sometimes also see odd behavior when
the connection is busy (not necessarily from my machine, just on my
local network), which I believe is due to the way the gio streams work
in some cases. Nonetheless, it's only my hypotheses, not anything I
could prove or even anything I investigated into the deepness.
        Bye,
