Subject: icedove: Fails to read RSS feeds, fails to add RSS feeds

Date: Sat, 30 Dec 2006 11:14:14 +0100

Package: icedove
Version: 1.5.0.9.dfsg1-1
Severity: important


My RSS feeds (heise.de, slashdot, newsforge) are not working anymore, wich means
no new entries are fetched.

Adding any new subscription stops at "Verifying RSS feed..." without making any progress.

Please feel free to contact me if you need more information.


Regards,

Benjamin Peter

Did the problem disappear in the meantime?

Do you have extensions installed? Which ones?

does running icedove like 

 # icedove -safe-mode

help?

Hi,

I could solve the problem by deleting the "News & Blogs" folder in my
thunderbird profile. It seems like there was a problem from upgrading to
a newer version.

I guess the Problem is still there but you can solve it by deleting the
News and Blogs folder.

I also have the same problem, RSS feeds suddenly stopped getting new items.

Using icedove 1.5.0.10.dfsg1-3

Running icedove -safe-mode does not help.

Noticed that clicking on 'Get Mail' button does not result in network 
traffic (watching etherape while clicking the button).

Is there any other information I can provide?

Found similar reports:

http://byronmiller.typepad.com/byronmiller/2006/01/thunderbird_15__1.html

which references:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=293567

I quit icedove, removed feeditems.rdf, restarted icedove and it seems to 
be working properly. The bug report claims that the problem was fixed in 
1.5.0.2 but I have 1.5.0.10 and still saw the problem.

As far as I can tell it was triggered by executing 'Compact folders' 
(which is also mentioned in bug).

Severity: normal

hey,

another example,
verifying feed goes on forever while trying to add planet debian rss feed
(http://planet.debian.org/rss20.xml)

stopped icedove, removed feeditems.rdf, started icedove, subscribed to
http://planet.debian.org/rss20.xml - no luck

stopped icedove, removed news & blogs dir, started icedove, subscribed to
http://planet.debian.org/rss20.xml - no luck

stopped icedove, removed news & blogs dir, started icedove, subscribed to
http://planet.debian.org/rss10.xml , works!!!!!!


so maybe its rss2 related?
adding rss from worpdress or other sites i usually use (dokuwiki, status.net)
works fine.

thanks,

I don't use RSS regular. So I can't really testing this bug.
How about that issue in current versions of Icedove? If yes is there a
related upstream bug entry in the Mozilla bugtracker or would anyone of
you open a bug there if needed and provide the URL from it?

hey,

i had forgotten all about that.. :-)

well icedove version 10 was working ok for sure, and just upgraded to
version 17 and tried with another planet rss2.0 feed and it worked ok,
as expected.
so i guess this is no longer a bug for that case...

thanks,

dpdt1
