[Evolution] Question about Evolution on Linux

[Jeffrey Needle <jeff needle gmail com>]

I'm using the latest build of Evolution on a Ubuntu Linux Desktop
install.

When I check for new mail, I'd love to be able to just check for my
e-mail.  I have several newsgroups set up, but it's nothing but trouble
the way Evolution seems to be acting.  It hangs forever as it tries to
connect with a newsgroup.

How can I tell Evolution to check only the e-mail account, and not the
newsgroups?

Thanks!
