-Create a News/blog account
-With Manage Subscriptions, add Feed-1 (parent)
-With Manage Subscriptions, add Feed-2 with Store Feed Articles in: Feed-1
-With Manage Subscriptions, delete Feed-1
tested results: The feed for Feed-1 is no longer in listed in The subscriptions
Manager (expected). And the articles aren't retrieved for Feed-1(expected). But
the name of the feed in the Mail panes sidebar remains the name for Feed-1. It
stays that way even after restart.
Expected results: Either the name of the feed is updated to that of the child
(Feed-2) or when deleting a parent feed, subfeeds are also deleted.

I disagree. I don't think we should ever rename a folder just because the user
unsubscribed from one of the feeds that use that folder.
I guess I look at it as Folder name which has many feeds dumping into it. By
default we name the folder based on the first feed you use to create it. But i
could rename it, I could have created the folder first and then subscribed feeds
to it. etc. I wouldn't expect the application to rename folders on me. That
would be very weird.
Maybe the button should be renamed to unsbuscribe instead of delete to make the
difference more clear. Even though if a folder has no more feeds we do delete it.

Scott, are you saying a feed is the same as a folder?
The behavior I tried to describe was deleting a feed that has a subfeed.
Let say add a Yahoo Sports feed to your News & Blogs account. Then add a feed on
weather as a subfeed of the Yahoo Sports feed (not to bright but..). Then
delete the Yahoo feed. Now in the folders pane under News & Blogs, Yahoo Sports
is the feed name, but only weather articles will be loaded to it.
I know this is a really off beat case. And I agree that renaming the feed for
the user is bad. That's why I also suggested deleting the sub feed. Maybe we
don't want to do any of that and just let the user rename the feed folder
themselves.
Feel free to mark this invalid. My heart won't be broken :-) Thanks for
putting up with us pounding on RSS today.

> Scott, are you saying a feed is the same as a folder?
On the contrary, I think he's saying a folder is a container of feeds. The folder can be named anything (altho, in my testing, it seems you have to create a folder with the desired name before you subscribe; new items no longer appear in the folder if you rename after subscribing). If you add a feed without specifying a folder, a new folder is created based on the feed name.

I'll do that! :)
