Binary package hint: evolution

Evolution doesn't delete an email from the POP3 email server (with SSL encryption) after a specified number of days and the mailbox quota on the server gets full.

Steps to reproduce
- Configure a POP3 email account with
  - Server type: POP
  - SSL encryption
  - Auth type as "password"
- Under receiving options->Message storage
  - Leave messages on the server as ON
  - Delete after X days as ON and put say "5" days in place of X
  - Disable support for all POP3 extensions as OFF
- Make sure that the server name and account details provided in the above setup contains more than five days old emails and the server also has a web-interface (or IMAP interface) to cross-check the presence of emails on the server
- Do a send-receive of emails from the account
- Make sure the old emails are fetched in your local Inbox
- After send-receive, log on to the web interface or connect through an IMAP interface to check whether the emails older than 5 days are deleted from the server

Expected result
- The old emails should be deleted from the server

Actual result
- The old emails are not deleted and remain on the server.
