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

[Jeremy Bicha]

Thank you!

Ubuntu policy is that this bug also needs to be fixed in later supported
Ubuntu releases at the same time or before it is fixed in older Ubuntu
releases. That means we need to fix this in Ubuntu 21.04 too. Do you
have the ability to test whether the fix works on Ubuntu 21.04?

Bug description:
  [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.
