This is still needing a kinetic verification.

Bug description:
[ Impact ]
Autosave files are not removed from evolution local state directories
(and windows leaked)
[ Test case ]
1. Open evolution, and start to compose a new email
2. Write enough text and wait few minutes so that this command returns a file
ls -l ~/.local/share/evolution/.evolution-composer.autosave-*
3. Close the email composer window, hitting "Do not save"
4. ls -l ~/.local/share/evolution/.evolution-composer.autosave-* should list
no files
5. Opening and closing again evolution should not ask to restore the previous
email
[ Regression potential ]
No sounds could be performed during some UI actions
---
Running Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS. Evolution v3.44.1-0ubuntu1
was installed with the distribution on a new system and received
settings imported from an earlier version on another computer.
When composing an email, if the process takes long enough an autosave
file is created as ~/.local/share/evolution/.evolution-
composer.autosave-xxxxxx ("xxxxxx" is a random 6 character string).
When the email is successfully sent, the autosave file SHOULD be
deleted. It's not. When evolution is shut down and restarted I'm asked
if I want to recover an unfinished email. Answering No to this will
delete the autosave file, but otherwise it persists and the recovery
query recurs the next time I open evolution.
Other people are having the same issue, see
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/1972. The Gnome
people aren't dealing with it, perhaps considering it a distro-
specific bug.
On a system used by many people this is a potential security issue.
