[Evolution] Bug#460905: Account settings needs a "no authentication" option for NNTP servers

[Carr, Chris]

Package: Evolution
Version: 2.12.2-1+b1
Severity: minor

I use Evolution to connect to my Leafnode news server. Leafnode does not
support password authentication (it uses /etc/hosts.allow instead).
Evolution has no option for "no authentication" for NNTP servers (even
though it does have this option for SMTP servers). So every time it
starts it pops up a dialog box asking for a password for the NNTP server
(and there is no way to prevent this popup). 

This is only minor because it doesn't actually prevent me connecting and
reading news once I have cancelled the popup, it just shouldn't pop up
that dialog in the first place. 

Regards,

Chris Carr
