It was supported, see:

  https://git.gnome.org/browse/tracker/tree/src/plugins/evolution

However, upstream changed their APIs and it's not been updated since. At 
the time I was talking to M. Barnes (who was working on the new APIs) to 
get things working, but the GOA (IIRC) APIs were not working and fairly 
new then so I couldn't progress. I've not picked this up since.

We would welcome any newcomers looking to take this on!

NOTE: I started a branch here, but it is by no means complete and may 
not be working:

  https://git.gnome.org/browse/tracker/log/?h=evo-new-api

hope this helps,
