These oecher groups are what I'm subscribed to. Why the hell does
evolution keep meta data for oesterreich.* groups ???
And there's much more to it than that:
thomas ga-78:~/.local/share/evolution/mail/1420635858 9770 2 ga-78$ ll|
wc
23693  213230 1880900

So meta data of at least 23693 groups which - most of them - I even
don't know by name :-(((

Why was this data stored - and most important: Why the hell is the whole
bunch updated every time Evolution is closed (which would last app. 3
hours when not --force-shutdowned) ?

BTW: It's Evolution 3.2.3 here - so I have good reasons to ask about
upgrading in another thread ;-)
It's stable and it does all we want, but this shutdown issue is too
annoying. And it all comes back to the nntp provider ...
