Depends a bit on what you're after.
If you want another stand-alone module (i.e. a new frontend type), then
you just need to implement a new evolution component.
If you want to implement a new backend for the addressbook, then you'd
want to do another backend in evolution-data-server.
evolution/addressbook/backends/ldap/e-book-backend-ldap.c is a fairly
simple example of a backend for evolution-data-server for contacts data.
For email evolution/camel/providers/* is where you'd start plugging
things in.
Yes i'm pointing to the sourcecode, its about the only documentation
(and certainly the only up to date) we have.
