Not really.  Depending on how you connect (i.e. if you use SSL to a
dedicated port) then the SSL exchange is before IMAP gets started so
there is no chance to talk about certificates.

Evo should see that there is a new certificate being used without you
doing anything, it certainly did when I changed my certificates last
week.  If the certificate is signed with a traceable key, then you won't
actually notice anything and it should "Just Work".  If it's a self
signed certificate, then Evo will ask you if you want to accept it.

It may be that something has got confused though.  There was a thread
over the last couple of days about re-accepting certificates,

https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2014-April/msg00035.html

in that thread there is some information on where the certificates are
held - it may be sufficient to just delete the old certificate to get
things working again.
