No post is listed with Evolution

Hi! Thank you for the awesome software, it works quite well on Mozilla Thunderbird and Emacs Gnus. However, it doesn't appear to work on GNOME Evolution.

Steps:

• Execute ./nntpit -D -p 8119 gnome
  • Even if I specify a single subreddit, all the previously specified (italy, italyinformatica and linux in my case) would be fetched anway. I couldn't manage to prevent this.
• Start Evolution with debugging output with the CAMEL_DEBUG=nntp evolution command. (Reference)
• Create new mail account:
  • Full Name: Foo (Any is good)
  • Email address: foo@bar (Any is good)
  • Receiving Email settings
    • Server Type: USENET News
    • Server: 127.0.0.1; Port: 8119
    • Username: (leave empty)
    • Encryption method: No encryption
    • Authentication: Anonymous
  • Sending Email
    • Server type*: None

Now I try to refresh. This is the output from nntpit:

[10] <- [mode reader]
[10] <- [date]
[10] <- [list overview.fmt]
[10] <- [CAPABILITIES]
[10] <- [date]
[10] <- [list]

NNTP_STREAM_LINE (17): '200 nntpit ready.'
nntp_stream_write: mode reader
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (25): '201 Hello, you can't post'
nntp_stream_write: date
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (33): '500 Unknown command (I saw date).'
nntp_stream_write: list overview.fmt
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (23): '215 information follows'
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (7): 'subject'
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (4): 'from'
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (4): 'date'
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (10): 'message-id'
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (10): 'references'
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (5): 'bytes'
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (5): 'lines'
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (END)
nntp_stream_write: CAPABILITIES
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (20): '101 Capability list:'
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (9): 'VERSION 2'
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (6): 'READER'
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (27): 'IMPLEMENTATION nntpit T.1.0'
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (5): 'IHAVE'
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (9): 'STREAMING'
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (1): '.'
g_f_i: fast 0 subscr 0 recursive 2 top ""
nntp_stream_write: date
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (33): '500 Unknown command (I saw date).'
nntp_stream_write: list
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (24): '215 subreddits available'
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (14): 'italy 2132 1 n'
store info update 'italy' first '1' last '2132'
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (13): 'linux 885 1 n'
store info update 'linux' first '1' last '885'
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (24): 'italyinformatica 894 1 n'
store info update 'italyinformatica' first '1' last '894'
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (13): 'gnome 187 1 n'
store info update 'gnome' first '1' last '187'
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (END)

Now I try to subscribe to gnome. I right click on my usenet account and then click Manage subscriptions. This is what I see:

This is nntpit's output:

[10] <- [date]
[10] <- [list]

And this is Evolution's output

g_f_i: fast 0 subscr 0 recursive 2 top ""
nntp_stream_write: date
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (33): '500 Unknown command (I saw date).'
nntp_stream_write: list
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (24): '215 subreddits available'
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (14): 'italy 2132 1 n'
store info update 'italy' first '1' last '2132'
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (13): 'linux 885 1 n'
store info update 'linux' first '1' last '885'
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (24): 'italyinformatica 894 1 n'
store info update 'italyinformatica' first '1' last '894'
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (13): 'gnome 187 1 n'
store info update 'gnome' first '1' last '187'
NNTP_STREAM_LINE (END)

I subscribe to gnome and then close the dialog, then I double click on the gnome folder and this is what happens:

Screencast.from.2024-01-19.12-23-19.webm

My terminal couldn't contain the entire Evolution output, so I had to repeat the steps above. The entire evolution log is sent as attachment: evolution.txt
(Note: I added another sub - /r/opensuse - in the meantime 😅)
