Fixed: Evolution no longer asks “Do you want to recover unfinished messages?”

This bug was really annoying: You type an email in Evolution mailer and send it successfully, and the next time you start up Evolution again, you get that dialog

Do you want to recover unfinished messages?

and you are not sure whether you sent everything you wanted to send, and dare not press the Discard button, and end up with all the emails written since the last time you started the mailer.

Well, it happened again today, and I was more successful in tracking the bug down, and found 2 bug reports on Launchpad

1978260 Evolution not closing emails after sending

1983794 Evolution not deleting autosave files

and a Gitlab Evolution issue 1972.

Fortunately, the bug has been fixed in the meantime, and under Ubuntu 22.04.1 the issue can be fixed by installing the latest version of libcanberra:

$ sudo apt install libcanberra-gtk3-module

which updates the previously installed version
