        Hi,
I see. I thought it's reported by a library Evolution uses, but it's
from the libcamel (provided by the evolution-data-server) itself. I did
debug this a little bit and it's as you said. The libcamel asks
Evolution for the recipient certificates, then it matches the
certificates with the respective recipients. It does not care the
certificate was assigned to a certain contact, it re-checks the
certificate. As the address of the recipient doesn't match the
certificate address, the certificate is skipped and the error is shown.

It's possible to add an option and enhance the code.

Would you mind to file a feature request for Evolution [1], please?

Let me know if you cannot for any reason and I'll file it for you.
Otherwise send a link to this thread, please, thus any archive reader
can follow the request.

        Thanks and bye,
        Milan
