it's been a while since I used rss on Tb. is it possible to exclude the messages from the "go to next unread" command somehow?

Thunderbird has gotten so much better. Love it

Thanks peaceful. We're just getting warmed up!

Who knew that RSS would feel so abandoned that we'd be celebrating its inclusion in Thunderbird?!

Is there a way to collect all RSS feed into a single view? Just like with the unified email inbox when using the grouped folders view. Because sometimes it is hard to find the one updated rss feed when you have a big list of them.

Great tips from great Jason Evangelho ! :) I have been listening to your Linux4Everyone podcast for a few years now and have been able to make Linux my daily driver now. I started using Thunderbird today and even added a few RSS feeds, thank you for making these great videos ! I was getting annoyed with ads in the RSS news feeds but after watching this video, was able to install uBOLite extension and all annoying adstuff gone. Glad to see you helping Free Software community, keep up the great work !

Love you Thunderbird ♥ Can't wait for the mobile version!

So good to see Thunderbird back in development!!

This one was and is handful. Thanks for bringing Thunderbird for us.

A very informative video. Thank you.

Thank you very much, very helpful. 💐 A video on how to archive e-mails in local folders chronologically, i. e. per year and account would be very interesting.

Great feature 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This is great just wanted to say this video explained a lot thanks a lot.

Plasma is this guy's daily driver (Kubuntu 22.04)! Regarding Akregator, you can always export your feeds to an OPML file and import that into Thunderbird. Try it out? It doesn't have the polish of other dedicated RSS software, but there's something nice and comfortable about using it the same way you do email. Thanks for the comment!

THANK YOU

I tested the program - and yes - it works fine. Wanted to make a donation but there is no PayPal.

Been enjoying setting up RSS feeds. Question for you. I have some feeds that have subscriptions, is there a way to pass through the login information? When I click the login in to get the full article, it jumps to the browser to login but logging in there doesn't seem to affect the RSS feed in Thunderbird. Still getting the login pop-up. And Ublocker doesn't block the login pop-up

Does Thunderbird support TTS plugins? Thank you for the great Tut.

it's been years since I have used rss feeds (obviously on Thunderbird) - somehow social media (youtube, minds, rumble) and mailing lists (for the easily cancellable stuff that the cathedrals don't want you to see) have filled that gap completely.

Love it

I am unable to locate the uBlock add-on. Can anyone share the link please?

TB is the Best!!

I got "no feed found" when I clicked the icon. Oh well. I restarted, and it worked ok with a lot of refreshes, but I never got it to give me YOUR feed.

Best video!!

KZread has successfully blocked the rss feed extension. I tried it on your sight and it says there is no link wtf

Sadly there is no more "feed message body as"-option in current Thunderbird 115.10.1 Someone any idea how to play video in an up to date Version of Thunderbird?

Has sth changed? On KZread it says "no RSS feed found" in the Get RSS Url addon.

I can connect to an Exchange server with Apple Mail.

Q: can rss messages be moved / collated into a folder using filter rules (similar to making lust content) or are they more like a news group? it might be more useful when you have an eclectic selection of vstis contents and want to have them grouped by topics / platforms. Edits: I wrote the original question on mobile using Samsung Swype, and it has this nasty habit of replacing words. I honestly do not remember what word I used for content and vstis. I guess the question was does it act more like POP (where we are allowed to move mails) or IMAP (which always syncs to the server, so removing posts is not possible, just like on a NG).

@thunderbirdproject

Жыл бұрын

Going to assume "lust content" was a typo 😅 but it's an excellent question. The short answer is "YES!" You can use both Saved Searches and Message Filters on RSS feeds, because Thunderbird treats them just like folders and emails. Currently, all of my personal RSS subscriptions are organized into subfolders (Music/Tech/KZread/Linux/etc). The drawback to this is that you can't view an aggregated list of all the folder's feeds by clicking on the folder. So what I've done is a File > New > Saved Search to aggregate any mention of (as one example) "Foo Fighters" into a dedicated, constantly updating folder with those matching articles. We're planning to a couple short "advanced" tutorials on managing RSS feeds, so please stay tuned for those.

@realraven2000

@@thunderbirdproject Another way might be: 1. create a filter in the original feeds folder(s) 2. copy the rss feed while setting the original to "read". (3) bonus tip: use quickFilters custom templates to create new filters in 3 clicks. I am always a bit sceptical about search folders, which are only as good as your last database update / repair folders action.

@@thunderbirdproject OK, it looks like adding the Awesome RSS add-on for Firefox was the missing ingredient. After adding that, Get RSS Feed URL extension works! The next challenge is the 'Double-click and open in new tab' at 3:50. That doesn't work for me (TB 115.3.1), and the 'App Menu' is no longer where the video shows it to be. This would seem to have nothing to do with the RSS Feed feature, and is more to do with my inability to keep up with the constantly changing nature of the TB UI...

Hi is there any way to use the thunderbird email app (on Mac) WITHOUT it taking up all my disk space?? Eg. so that it just fetches the email real-time from our gmail/yahoo et al accounts, and can send emails via them, but WITHOUT storing stuff ON our Mac ssd?? If yes, how is this done?

Hey there - sorry for the mixup in the previous reply. Go to Thunderbird Menu > Account Settings > Synchronization and Storage. You can disable local storage by unchecking Message Synchronization. Be sure to see the warning regarding deleting messages, as it will also delete originals.

Thanks for your reply! You are saying that if I uncheck “message synchronization“ that this will stop Thunderbird from storing anything on my hard disk, right? So any incoming or outgoing or draft or deleted emails will remain on my Gmail/Yahoo/Hotmail email accounts, they just will not be stored on mine, hard disk. Correct? I’m asking again because “message synchronization”, that you say that I need to uncheck, sounds like me telling Thunderbird not to “synchronize” with my emails on my mobile account, meaning not to go fetch new ones. That’s not what this means, correct? What do I need to uncheck to make sure that no “originals“ as you say will not be deleted? I assume you mean that they could be deleted from my Gmail account via Thunderbird. Or did I understand wrongly?

HOW can one GET RID of the "ALL MAIL" folder- forever? I know it comes from Gmail- and I DON"T HAVE Gmail. This stupid folder holds everything - ever- and causes replicated crap on my mail setup that is a waste of time.. I HATE the stupid folders-- ALL of them- NOT NEEDED.... when you get mail- READ AND DELETE it forever..

Ok, now ublock will wont import as a zip file or as an extracted folder wassup

emacs

The part about adding Ublock was really unclear. I watched it 48,000 times in slo-mo, and the link does not go where you say it does. The git hub page has two choices, a zip and a tar.gz. The tar.gz is seemingly invisible, the zip produces an error message saying it is corrupted. Also, your cursor kind of wanders around as you say just download it, etc. It works like magic for you, but I could make neither head nor tail of it, and either something slower or more explicit is what a low-IQ normie like me needs, I'm afraid.
