[Evolution] Bug#460907: Evolution does not download articles from news server

[Carr, Chris]

Package: Evolution
Version: 2.12.2-1+b1
Severity: normal

I can connect to my Leafnode NNTP server and subscribe to any offered
newsgroups, but Evolution downloads only a tiny fraction of the articles
in those groups. I know that certain groups have several hundred
articles, because I can see them if I reboot the PC into Windows and
connect to the same server using OE. But Evolution shows me only a few
articles (between 2 and 30). Clicking "refresh" on the group folder does
nothing. In the account settings I have set "check for new messages" to
every 20 mins, but none of the newsgroup folders ever gets any new
messages.

Sorry if this is not a bug at all but me doing something really stupid.
I have tried all current versions of Evolution (Etch, Lenny, Sid) and
this problem occurs in all three. Like I said, I know the server is
working fine, because it serves the articles to OE or
Thunderbird/Icedove on the same PC.

Regards,

Chris Carr
