I can confirm that this issue still exists in Evolution 3.2.3 provided by 12.04 LTS

But I don't want to reopen this issue /in Evolution/ ... at least not quite yet, as I'm not sure it belongs here (or not just here).

I believe the correct approach would be to have an application like seahorse manage the CA's that a user trusts and then have other applications like Evolution, Thunderbird, Firefox, Epiphany, ... defer to gnome-keyring to verify the key's and CA's that a user trusts.

I'm uncertain whether gnome-key or seahorse have any support for CA's and I fear that most CA handling is within each application as is the case for Evolution. But then the handling of CA files must become much simpler that what is currently offered.
