[Bug 1943450] [NEW] Contacts: Retrieve user S/MIME certificate does not work

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Roger Meier (bufferoverflow):

[Impact]

 * It's currently not possible to retrieve encryption certificates
   from Global Address List(GAL) when connecting to e.g., Office365

 * A manual import of encryption certificates is required to send
   encrypted emails.

 * The upstream bug has been fixed upstream and release for impish.

[Test Plan]

 * Configure an EWS account, e.g., using Office365

 * Search the Global Address List(GAL) and select a person that has
   an encryption certificate stored within the GAL.
   There is no certificate visible within Certificates tab.
   To send encrypted mails to that Person, the encryption certificate
   has to be manually imported via Preferences->Certificates->Contact Certificates.

 * With this bug fix the encryption certificate stored within the GAL will
   be visible within the contact details view and encrypted mails can be sent
   without manual import of encryption certificates.

[Where problems could occur]

 * The patch has been tested over two weeks during daily work using
evolution-ews.
