I have a few folders that unexpectedely lost the RSS feed they contained; (what happened exactly to these feeds I don't know); I went to re-subscribe to these feeds, but thunderbird tells me I am _stil_l subscribed to some of them. The thing is, I have no idea where these feeds went. I manually reviewed all feeds in every folder, and those I supposedly am already subscribed to are nowhere to be found. How can I locate the folder associated with a feed ?

Chosen solution

I actually found another solution so I can't test it, but I'll keep this one in mind. Here's what I did :

I re-suscribed to these feeds from a _different_ RSS account, then copied the folders from the new account to the original one.

Can you unsubscribe from the troubled feed prior to resubscribing?

The list of subscribed feeds is in the file Mail/News & Blogs/feeds.rdf in your profile folder. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird

You should not attempt to edit feeds.rdf unless you know exactly what you're doing.
