268205 - preference for automatically retrieving messages to a single folder on subscription

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(MailNews Core :: Feed Reader, enhancement)

Description

[jeisen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041103 Firefox/0.10.1 StumbleUpon/1.998

It would be wonderful for users who like to see all feeds going into a central
folder to have an option to automatically set this central folder for all
subscriptions. As it stands now, I can get this behavior by individually setting
all subscriptions to download into this folder.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Subscribe to a new feed
Actual Results:  
The dialog to add a new feed sets it to go to its own folder under News & Blogs
by default.

Expected Results:  
Have it display a folder chosen by the user as the default, chosen either as a
checkbox/text field preference when setting up RSS, or as a selected option such
as "Group articles by feed" or "Group all articles together".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
