311697 - RSS feeds corrupted when moved into a folder

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 709247

(MailNews Core :: Feed Reader, defect)

Description

[Bryan Mills]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051002 Firefox/1.6a1

I'm trying to organize my RSS feeds by publisher (AP, Reuters, etc.), and to do
so I'm creating folders in my RSS account.  The problem is, when I drag a feed
into a folder it (a) no longer refreshes (even when moved back out of the
folder), and (b) causes OPML import to always fail.  To get OPML working again I
have to delete the RSS account and re-create it.

This is a dupe of Bug 257700, but that one is incorrectly flagged as a dupe of
something else and marked resolved -- this issue still exists in 1.5B2.

Reproducible: Always

I confirmed this.

feeds.rdf contains old destination information even after moving a rss feed into a folder.

  <fz:feed RDF:about="http://rss.chosun.com/international.xml"
                   dc:identifier="http://rss.chosun.com/international.xml"
                   fz:quickMode="false"
                   dc:title="ì¡°ì&#132; ë&#139;·ì»´ : êµ­ì &#156;"
                   NS1:link="http://www.chosun.com">
    <fz:destFolder RDF:resource="mailbox://nobody@News%20%26%20Blogs/%EC%A1%B0%EC%84%A0%EB%8B%B7%EC%BB%B4%20%3A%20%EA%B5%AD%EC%A0%9C"/>

I have the same problem here.
When exporting the scheme show in the attached window, I get this OPML file:

<opml version="1.0">
  <head>
    <title>Thunderbird OPML Export</title>
    <dateCreated>Sun, 17 Sep 2006 18:02:17 GMT</dateCreated>
  </head>

    <outline title="inamex" text="inamex" type="rss" version="RSS" xmlUrl="http://inamex.blogspot.com/atom.xml" htmlUrl="http://inamex.blogspot.com"/>
    <outline text="News">

    <outline text="IT">

  </body>
</opml>


Even worse, teh RSS reader now hangs wih the dots rotating, but no new feeds detected.
When i press "Get Mail" the application says "Checking RSS feeds", but I cannot see any network connections.

This is TB version 1.5.0.5 (20060813) Debian Linux (installed from backports.org.

When I create scubscriptions in a folder, they do /disappear/ after a while. They did work for a short time, though (TB 2.0.0.6, WXP). Could this be the same issue?

However, the dest. folder seems to be correct in my case, e.g.:

  <fz:feed RDF:about="http://www.rememberthemilk.com/atom/..../"
                   fz:quickMode="true"
                   dc:identifier="http://www.rememberthemilk.com/atom/...."
                   dc:title="Peter Aufgaben"
                   NS1:link="http://www.rememberthemilk.com/home/ptandler/1649569/">
    <fz:destFolder RDF:resource="mailbox://nobody@News%20%26%20Blogs/Remember%20The%20Milk"/>
  </fz:feed>

But the subscriptions dialog doesn't show the feed, only lists the empty folder.
