Hello,

hmm, afaict Debian's evolution packages do not gnutls but NSS for IMAP
and SMTP. The only gnutls related code I could find was indirect usage
(curl and openldap) in evolution-data-server plugins and libevolution:

/usr/lib/evolution-data-server/calendar-backends/libecalbackendgtasks.so
/usr/lib/evolution-data-server/addressbook-backends/libebookbackendgoogle.so
/usr/lib/evolution-data-server/addressbook-backends/libebookbackendldap.so
/usr/lib/evolution/3.12/modules/module-book-config-ldap.so
/usr/lib/evolution/3.12/modules/module-cal-config-google.so
