The problem I had with Evolution was that the only place to get our
"certificates" from was Verisign. Those assholes require ActiveX to
access the software. So I had to use a virtual Billybox to get the
certificate, then use Outlook Anal Express to extract the certifcate.
So I guess it wasn't really a problem with Evolution after all, but with
the cancerous intrusion of one proprietary company's closed technology
into what should have been the open process of obtaining credentials for
my e-mailings.
