I am using 2.28 on ubuntu karmic.
If you check manually via F9, there pops up a small window, which
disappears as soon as fetching is complete, but gives the user the
opportunity to cancel the operation on an account basis. 
Also, in preferences, under receiving Options, you can configure, 
if new mails are fetched from your account automatically and set
the time interval.
Finally, you can also deactivate your news account by selecting 
the newsgroup account and choose right-mouse -> deactivate.
Hope that helps.
