599659 - Allow RSS feeds to go to a folder in my Local Folders account.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, enhancement)

Description

[John David Galt]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.10) Gecko/20100914 Firefox/3.6.10 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.9) Gecko/20100915 Thunderbird/3.1.4

An enhancement request.  Specifically, I want to be allowed to do three things.
1. When subscribing to an RSS feed, direct it to a folder in the Local Folders account.
2. Move an existing RSS feed folder from the RSS account to the Local Folders account.
3. Allow an RSS account to be set up using the folders in Local Folders for Inbox, Outbox, Drafts, Sent, and Trash, thus preventing the RSS account from appearing in the folder pane at all, just as I can now do with a mail account.

Reproducible: Always




I use no add-ons except Enigmail, which I don't think is relevant.

I expect the feeds to fully display articles even after moving to Local Folders, so this may be related to bug 771602.

1. On arrival, messages can be moved/copied anywhere by using message filters.
2. Drag and drop it.
3. That's not how Tb works.  An account means processing using a specific protocol; a feed folder with an active subscription must be in a feed account.  A feed folder moved to Local Folders will lose the subscription.  Only pop3 allows a redirect folder, but the account must still exist.
4. And they do; reread that bug for instructions.
