mozilla-thunderbird and RSS

Krzysiek_W · 2005-02-27 06:25:55

Hi,
when I'm using thunderbird from arch pkg I don't have option to create RSS account (File -> New ->Account... opens window where I can choose email or news gruoups). When I use release from Mozilla page in popup window I can choose also 'Movemail' and 'RSS'. Is thunderbird in ARCH changed or its some bug?

im using liferea now, it works good, ive used blam in the past too.

now I'm using liferea as rss reader too and a evolution as a mail client, I think its a little faster than thunderbird, it uses more memory (but thats not a problem )

i asked about this on the mailing list - the pkg maintainer, amongst other issues, can't get it to build in 1.0.2, apparently it doesnt work very well anyway.

So NO RSS in thunderbird for the time being - just to be clear

Have you tried sage extention in firefox?

i think things like this are a good candidate for annoucement to be honest

Thunderbird still works for me in terms of RSS and I can get all of my other feeds other than the Arch Linux package feed. I know this is somehow a limitation of the Thunderbird RSS way of reading things or perhaps the Arch package itself which I am using as even the AUR package list works fine.
Is it in the works to get this working? The reason why I switched all my mail from Evolution to Thunderbird was so that I could have a mail client and RSS reader in one instead of using 2 separate apps (I was using Liferea before which is a very good reader in its own right).

So, I'm wondering if this is a dead issue or if there is still hope for this Arch package to work correctly.

I have the same problem with Arch feeds

Arch Linux
