I'm inclined to agree with the assessment that Evolution doesn't understand SSL client authentication.  I haven't tried with Evolution (when I can't get it to properly select a cert off the card for signing and encrypting messages for a regular IMAP/SMTP server, it wasn't worth my time to continue further when Thunderbird works great), but I have also had to deal with an OWA server that requires both a client certificate and username/password.  I tried it with Microsoft Entourage 2004, which also uses OWA to communicate with an Exchange server, and it didn't work there, either.

Am I to assume from this that your OWA deployment is not accepting  
PKI authentication?  If so, then you're not really gaining anything 
  with the smartcard.

Likely because Evolution doesn't understand SSL client  
authentication.  At all.  Even with IMAPS, so far as I can tell.

If it's working in FF but not in Evolution that's a pretty solid  
indication that the problem is Evolution.
