Where is the 'folder view' for RSS feeds in Thunderbird?


All,

I've switched from Google Reader to Thunderbird to read / manage RSS feeds.

For some reason, the folder view of my imported feeds does not show up in Thunderbird, yet in the 'manage subscriptions' panel, the folder hierarchy is preserved.

See the attached screen shot.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Thunderbird RSS folder issue


Solution

  • I don't think there is a folder view for rss in Thunderbird. You could install the Bamboo add-on but you might as well do that in Firefox.

    Here's a workaround:

    1. Right click on your rss folder
    2. Search Messages...
    3. Change the drop down box from "contains" to "doesn't contain"
    4. Type a crazy word in the text field (I put "zigloo", pretty safe to assume that will never pop up in a rss feed, but you could go crazier)
    5. Click on "Save as Search Folder"

    You can then give it a name and put it where you want.
