Folder just appeared in Evolution... didn't put it there, and it wouldnt let me delete it.

[Andrew Farris]

Weird, and sudden issue with Evolution, and I'm clueless...

I just got home (late), sat down to read through the few emails that had
filtered in, when I noticed a new folder under "On this Computer" called
"gmane.linux.ubuntu.user"

I did not add this folder, and Evolution won't delete this folder. if I
right-click on it, and check "properties", it fails with the message: 
    Error Processing: This is not a valid file

and trying to delete it did nothing.

Finally, I closed Evolution, went to ~/.evolution/mail/local and deleted
the folder from there... then restarted Evolution, and a few minutes
later, the folder came back!

This time, I was able to right-click on it, and delete it, but I'm
concerned that it will come back yet again.

I'll be closing Evo for tonight to experiment... just to make sure. 

I also checked my firewall out of habit, and noticed some odd (blocked)
activity from the past few hours... I've included the hit log below:

Anybody have any clues about this?
