I notified Milan Crha (@mcrha) who's a GNOME maintainer of Evolution on the GNOME branch of this bug, https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/1972#note_1529229. He's written new features for Evolution, which have been pushed into the GNOME upstream pacakge, so he knows the code. I know I initiated this report, but you and @mcrha are far more capable of getting to the bottom of this bug than am I. I would hope that he would be reading this and possibly work with you on stomping it.

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.
