[Evolution] Newsgroup error?

[Ken Keefe <kaje digitalfamily org>]

I have been trying to get Evolution to handle my news groups, since I
recently discovered that Evolution has that ability. I am able to
connect to the news server with a slew of other clients like KNode and
Thunderbird. However, when I try to subscribe to folders in Evolution, I
get the following error:

Error while performing operation.

Error retrieving newsgroups:

281 Ok.

Does anyone know what this error code means?

The server is password protected and Evolution still has not prompted me
to enter my password, so that might be the problem. Anyway, I'd
appreciate any help I can get to get it working... I'd like to be able
to stop using a second client for news.

Thanks,
