Further analysis by Milan Crha shows that the issue under Xorg seems to be caused by Ubuntu's gtk3, see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/1972#note_1524307.
** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues #1972 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/1972 ** Also affects: gtk+3.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gtk+3.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1983794 Title: Evolution not deleting autosave files Status in evolution package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Running Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS. Evolution v3.44.1-0ubuntu1 was installed with the distribution on a new system and received settings imported from an earlier version on another computer. When composing an email, if the process takes long enough an autosave file is created as ~/.local/share/evolution/.evolution- composer.autosave-xxxxxx ("xxxxxx" is a random 6 character string). When the email is successfully sent, the autosave file SHOULD be deleted. It's not. When evolution is shut down and restarted I'm asked if I want to recover an unfinished email. Answering No to this will delete the autosave file, but otherwise it persists and the recovery query recurs the next time I open evolution. Other people are having the same issue, see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/1972. The Gnome people aren't dealing with it, perhaps considering it a distro- specific bug. On a system used by many people this is a potential security issue.
