Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

News folders initially behaved properly. Click on a folder and status says "NewsServer: Scanning for new messages" and then "Opening folder newsfolder@newsserver" and
"refreshing folder(..." and all previous posting disappear leaving an empty window. This has happened to some folders, not all so far.

Started Evolution manually with --debug=FILE option and got the following:

(evolution-2.10:11412): evolution-mail-WARNING **: Error getting folder info from store: Error retrieving newsgroups:

111 20070620162936 UTC
process 11412: The last reference on a connection was dropped without closing the connection. This is a bug in an application. See dbus_connection_unref() documentation for details.
Most likely, the application was supposed to call dbus_connection_close(), since this is a private connection.

The first time I ran debug I also saw a message that said "could not open /usr/bin/bogofilter, file not found". Which is correct, file doesn't exist. Should it?

Another message was something like camel -L error, I googled it and there had been
a bug report opened in a previous version, 2.6 I believe, but it had been closed without
fixing it apparently.

The bogofilter error message was:

and

The camel error message was actually:
(evolution-2.10:11872): camel-WARNING **: camel_exception_get_id called with NULL parameter.

There has been an upstream comment:
>>>
As nntp code had been changed due to camel db summary, it's worth to try out
later version.

Could you please confirm if this bug is still happening at your end ? Please
try in 2.26.x or later and report back, thanks.

So please test if this is still an issue for you in Ubuntu 9.04 or 9.10. Thanks.
