Nathan, it looks as if a fix for this problem was "released" a week and
a half ago. Do you have any knowledge of the progress on this? I have
one system here running Ubuntu MATE w. Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS and am
manually tracking released updates/fixes every few days, and the problem
persists.

I have another system running 20.04.5 LTS, which doesn't have the
problem, and which I'd like to bring up-to-date. I'm reluctant to do so
until this problem is fully addressed since Evolution is my everyday go-
to MUA, and I send a lot of emails, and having to deal with this problem
every time would be a major PITA.

Title:
  Evolution not deleting autosave files

Status in Evolution:
  Fix Released
Status in evolution package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in libcanberra package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

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.
