Jaap, what's needed is a verification for kinetic. Please see the test
plan in the bug description at the very top, and try out the package
from proposed as outlined in comment #24.

And we also need a kinetic verification on
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1949200 which
is being fixed in the same upload.

Since jammy comes before kinetic, and both are affected, we need the
verification to be complete for both, to avoid jammy users upgrading to
kinetic and experiencing the bug again.

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  Autosave files are not removed from evolution local state directories
  (and windows leaked)

  
  [ Test case ]

  1. Open evolution, and start to compose a new email
  2. Write enough text and wait few minutes so that this command returns a file
     ls -l ~/.local/share/evolution/.evolution-composer.autosave-*
  3. Close the email composer window, hitting "Do not save"
  4. ls -l ~/.local/share/evolution/.evolution-composer.autosave-* should list 
no files
  5. Opening and closing again evolution should not ask to restore the previous 
email

  
  [ Regression potential ]

  No sounds could be performed during some UI actions

  ---

  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.
