Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 388919

(MailNews Core :: Feed Reader, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060124 Firefox 1.0.4  Firefox/1.5.0.1
Build Identifier: how to find out? I know: Thunderbird 1.5 German Version

I noticed that some newsfeeds doesn't work(no new messages over a long time). Maybe this was after i changed to Thunderbird 1.5 from 1.0, but I am not sure about it.

I openend the subscribe newsfeed (back translated from german) menu and found out that some folders are empty. Some news feeds has vanished.

Later I found the feeds.rdf file. I looked into it and found out that there are some strange things in it. 

* One fz:destFolder item pointed to a folder which have an other name now. I changed the name in this file to the correct name and the feed reappear. (with many new massages :) )

* A NS1:link property has a space before the adress. I removed the space and the feed reappear. (don't know if it is important, but the folder begans with a space too)

*One news feed was't even in this file, instead of it there was the following code, which says nothing to me:

  <RDF:Description RDF:about="http://www.heise.de/newsticker/heise.rdf"
                   dc:title="heise online News"
                   NS1:link="http://www.heise.de/newsticker/" />

I created a new feed with the same adress to have this feed (heise.de) again.

Maybe related to bug 322793?

This is a similar problem to what I encountered, and seems to be a dupe of bug 388919.

Indeed, this is yet another example of feeds.rdf screwing itself over. DUP.
