I'm unable to get the newsgroups list for an NNTP server that requires a
username and password login.

This is not the same problem as bug 257418. Here's a debug output log
from the session:

Does this still happen with recent Evolution versions?
Comment 4 Braden 2004-12-28 19:20:01 UTC
I couldn't tell you. I don't use GigaNews anymore.
Comment 5 Bastien Nocera 2005-09-12 12:16:34 UTC
Newer versions of Evolution don't have that problem anymore, a patch to fix it
for older versions of Evo is at:
