Solved it!
On another thread regarding certificates, I found that since Evolution
uses Mozilla's libnss, Mozilla's certificate database can be imported
into Evolution by copying the files cert8.db, key3.db and secmod.db from
~/.mozilla/<user>/<random>/ to ~/.evolution. I did this at first to
import the root certificates into Evolution in order to validate
digitally signed messages. I was very surprised, however, when Evolution
prompted me for the PIN on the hardware device!
Although this is an interesting and functional workaround, I would like
to see a user interface to access hardware devices within Evolution and
not have to go through all the hassle of recopying files from Mozilla to
Evolution. Any plans on this?
