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: g_f_i: fast 1 subscr 0 recursive 0 online 1 top "" NNTP_COMMAND: 'date' NNTP_STREAM_LINE(18): '111 20040827235357' NNTP_COMMAND: 'list' NNTP_STREAM_LINE(27): '480 authentication required' NNTP_COMMAND: 'authinfo user XXXXXXXX' NNTP_STREAM_LINE(32): '381 more authentication required' NNTP_COMMAND: 'authinfo pass XXXXXXXX' NNTP_STREAM_LINE(21): '281 News.GigaNews.Com' CamelException.setv(0xa5c0fd0, 301, 'Error retrieving newsgroups: 281 News.GigaNews.Com') Thread 5c60bb0 > Get folder info(0x9f14070:nntp://cc0129419@news.comcast.giganews.com/, '') = < 5c60bb0 > (evolution:31301): evolution-mail-WARNING **: Error getting folder info from store: Error retrieving newsgroups: 281 News.GigaNews.Com
Does this still happen with recent Evolution versions?
I couldn't tell you. I don't use GigaNews anymore.
Newer versions of Evolution don't have that problem anymore, a patch to fix it for older versions of Evo is at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=167919
