I've been informed that evolution will support this in 2.22.

For now, does anyone know of a working OWA gateway I can use with
thunderbird, which seems to have support for what you are talking
about?

Web browsers like Firefox, SeaMonkey, Internet Explorer, and Safari can be configured to provide that certificate from a smart card.  Email clients like Evolution and Entourage don't know how to do that.  They know how to sign and encrypt/decrypt email messages using the certificates and keys on the smart card, but not how to provide the client certificate on an SSL connection.
