The dialog text includes:
Signature:         BAD

This implies that the certificate was actively checked against the certificate
authority but it did not check out.

Since the certificate is indeed correct, I am assuming that the error occurs
because Evolution does not recognize the CA.

1) Evolution should not say the certificate is BAD when it is simply UNKNOWN
(this is a separate yet-to-be-filed bug)
2) Evolution should have the Comodo certificate chain preinstalled

Do you seriously just click on OK when you get a bad certificate dialog?
