You know that deleting folders from the Thunderbird profile like you have been doing is an almost certain guarantee of data lost don't you! Stop it. Permanently.

Unfortunately you chose a computer with out a right click button, so you need to command click the folder. Select settings and use the account actions button to delete it.

Whenever your trying to work something out in Thunderbird try right clicking. Most of the programs functionality is in those context menus that the apple mouse has such difficulty using.

“…you chose a computer without a right-click button…? WRONG!!!! I’ve got (and all Mac’s have had) a three-button mouse for the PAST TEN YEARS….

And no, hitting ANY combination of command/option/control/shift/Tab/space with left, middle, or right mouse button does NOT allow any deleting of RSS feeds from my left-hand-column menu…. Bummer!!!

Please advise with another chunk of TESTED advise.. Thx…  :-))

Well I am sorry, perhaps as a MAC user with a three button mouse that supports right click you could explain why telling MAC users to right click gets rude replies here about it and requires further explanation on command click because their computing device does not support such an option. Personally I have no idea, but I get really frustrated by it.

I have Zero interest in any product from Apple, they simply fail to interest me even slightly. I have used a mac once in the past 30 years and it had a black and white screen about 8 inches across. It was rubbish, I have not been back.

Well, I don’t want to start a “Mac vs. PC” flame-war. I’m switching to a quite powerful **PC** workstation later TODAY, in fact…. So I can use GPU-acceleration for rendering “3D” scenes using VRAY with BLENDER…

However, unless the setup of the Thunderbird app is QUITE different than “the Mac version” that I’m presently using…..the problem will persist…

I cannot FIND the screen you illustrate in your screen-shot… the “Crawl folder for email-addresses” sound like a VERY useful command! :o))

Can you (or have you…) actually managed to DELETE an RSS-feed menu item in your own version of Thunderbird? If so, what VERSION of Thunderbird are you using…. I would guess that perhaps we are comparing two different version of Thunderbird? (I *could* have said “comparing Apples to Oranges”, but I didn’t…it pays to be diplomatic, and a bit humorous… :O))

Still looking for a solution to this "RSS undeletable” problem, if anybody has one! Thanks! :-)

Matt,

With a Mac, Command-click is like middle-click and Control-click is like right-click.

The email address crawler is an add-on.

BTW no war, I genuinely would like to know what this Command click stuff is all about. I really do not understand.

What do you get when you right click the RSS feeds? (just so we are on the same page, View menu > folders is set to all.)

Hello Matt!

Thank-you for your input, and polite question about Mac-clicky-ness...  ;o) --With a ONE button mouse (now quite uncommon and rare....) you CONTROL-click (Control is the outermost, left-hand key, SAME on Mac & PC) to invoke the equivalent of a PC-right-click.... ---That's all you have to do on a Mac..

HOWEVER, these days it's a lot cheaper, and more "flexible" to just go out and spend ~$20.xx on a MacAlly (or other "OEM" brand) of three-button-USB-mouse... :-))

I'd call that, "SOLVED"....  ;o} -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- --themacguy a.k.a. David A. Lewis, B.A, B.Comm ihelp-mac@shaw.ca -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

You do not need an OEM brand. I am using a Kensington trackball with my Mac.
