Mail - RSS feed

Is there a way to prevent getting constant RSS message from Apple?
There seems to be no option to check for RSS "Never" or remove messages "Immediately"

I'd like to know that too--I have 945 of them!

Where is Mail RSS feeds on Lion 10.8?

Please let me know where to find Mail RSS feeds using Lion 10.8 and Mail 6.0.
Thank you.

RSS has been completely removed from Mail and Safari in OS X 10.8. There are several third-party RSS readers available; search MacUpdate for "RSS".
BTW, this forum is for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. The OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion forum is here:

that function is not scriptable.

I am trying to recover my bookmarks and mail RSS feeds+folders.

I had to do a clean install of Lion. I almost have everything back but I am missing a few of my backup files. If I can locate these remaining items, I will be done finally!
Safari bookmarks
Mail RSS feeds and mail folders
Oh
And it would be nice to locate my iTune's Artwork for my library items. Not not a deal breaker, there are just so many of them to hunt and peck for if I decide to do so.
I have looked everywhere I can think of for these with no success.

I ended up having the Apple Genius bar work on this problem for me. The plists are now hidden in the Lion software and they had to go into the basic language portion of the system and execute commands to locate and retrieve the information. However, I do have all the information back.

Mail RSS Feeds Stopped Updating

Hi there,
In the past week, I've noticed that my Mail RSS feeds have stopped updating and I'm also unable to open/subscribe to new RSS feeds.
When I try to click on a new RSS feed in Safari, I get the following error message:
Safari can’t open the page “feed://www.vanilladays.com/feed/”. The error was: “Operation could not be completed. (Mach error 268435460 - (ipc/send) timed out)” (NSMachErrorDomain:268435460) Please choose Report Bugs to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.
In parallel to this, I've noticed that Safari is is also taking around 5 minutes to load (the is normal once loaded). I've got a separate topic about this.
Any ideas on what I can do to fix this? I was having these problems before I updated OSX yesterday.
Thanks for any help,
Ste

i was able to find this on another website...
CXL: Safari fails to display RSS feeds when CPU is under load or free disk space on system drive is small. That pretty much sums it up. It's annoying, too, because if Time Machine is doing its hourly backup or I'm converting video files, Safari's RSS display repeatedly fails with the same error message: "Mach errore 268451843 - (ipc/rcv) timed out" or "NSMachErrorDomain:268451843". Under the same conditions, Safari fetches and displays normal webpages perfectly fine. Filed: 5610533.
but this doesn't make sense, I have about 4.5 GB free on my startup drive....
i also found this apple thread which is about the same issue, but also has no resolution..

Mail RSS Feed Problem

Hello, I've got a problem with my RSS feeds in Mail and it's driving me nuts. I had a number of feeds which were all working properly and suddenly my craigslist feeds stopped. All previous and new feeds still work but the craigslist feeds give me the error "There was an error updating the RSS feed “santabarbara.craigslist.org” - The requested URL was not found on this server."
I thought it might be a problem with craigslist but their feed works fine in my Firefox Live Bookmarks. It only appears to not be working in Mail. It was around the time of the 10.6.4 update but I can't be certain. I'm thinking it could be some sort of cache issue for just that site but don't know how to check.
One of the feeds is http://santabarbara.craigslist.org/med/index.rss
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Rob

When you say you tried Safari & Firefox to read feeds from CraigsList, do you mean just loading the RSS URL's (e.g. http://santabarbara.craigslist.org/med/index.rss ) into the browser directly? For myself, CraigsList RSS feeds don't load in Safari 5 either but it does seem to work via Firefox 3.6.3. I bet this might have been the WebKit (Safari 5) update that broke something.
And yes, my CraigsList RSS feeds broke in Apple Mail too (which is what brought me here). I filed a Radar bug ( rdar://problem/8161076 ) to alert Apple internal people.

How to Export Mail RSS feeds to another reader

How do I go about exporting RSS feeds I have in Mail into another reader like NetNewsWire?
Thanks.

Hi Purple Cat,
Have you considered using New New Wire as a bridge between google reader and apple mail?
1) download NetNewsWire
2) configure NetNewsWire as default RSS reader
3) open NetNewsWire
4) Enable Assentive Devices
5) run terminal command to add RSS feed to NetNewsWire
6) verified correct feed to add in NewNewsWire
7) synced with google reader.
1) NetNewsWire download, put in applications folder.
2)open safari, go to safari menu, click preferences, when preferences open chose RSS. Set the pulldown menu default RSS reader to NetNewsWire
3) open NetNewsWire, make sure it's open, with no dialog box being displayed.
4) open system preferences, Click on Universal Access, check "enable access to assisted devices"
4) Open terminal, paste in the fallowing command, then press return:
IFS=$'\n';for i in $(find ~/Library/Mail/RSS/ -name "Info.plist");do open $(grep "<string>http://" $i | sed "s/.*$http[^<]*$.*/\1/;s/http/feed/"); osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke return'; sleep 20; done; say done;
NOTE: while this command runs do not click on any thing. it will take about 20 seconds between adding each RSS feed. if your speakers are on and your volume loud enough, you should hear the computer say 'done' after adding all the RSS feeds.
5) in NetNewsWire verify all the RSS are good to go, remove any you do not wish to add to google reader.
6) when your sure your ok to have the feed in NetNewsWire added to google reader:
in netnewswire go to preferences, click on the syncing icon, put in your google user name and password, Click Merge Subscriptions button, Then check "sync with google reader.

Mail rss feed has stopped updating

my RSS feed in Mail has stopped updating. The last updates were on August 10. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Same here for a couple of weeks now. Only thing that helps is restarting mail. As seen from all the complaints here, it is a random problem and is continuing for some time now. And i think there will be no help from Apple since they have decided in there wisdom to drop the RSS feeds in the mail app all together from the newer OSX versions. I'm on OSX 10.6.8.

Mail crashes due to RSS feed

Hi, so I subscribed to an RSS feed last night that apparently has a lot of data attached to it. As a result, my Macbook won't boot up mail. It just sits there, stuck as the rainbow pinwheel mocks me. IS there anyway to unsubscribe from a feed without going through Mail.app? Or am I just SOL?

Finder>User Folder>Library>Mail>RSS feed should be listed
then you delete it.

Script to open RSS feed url's and post those in the background to a webpage

Dear everyone,
Im trying to work on a script that should do:
- Read My Apple mail RSS feeds every 120 seconds
- extract a NUMBER from the links from those RSS feeds
- then post them to a website url site.com/rss.php?id=<extracted id>
- It should run totally in the background of my apple
- The links should be posted in the background also without opening any browser or safari
Is this possible?
I have my apple now 4 months and this is my first applescript project, so its a bit too much for me, ive spend several hours investigating on how to do this can someone help me out a bit please?
on idle
if application "Mail" is running then
-- read RSS feeds from apple mail
-- Extract link ID www.site.com/?id=12345
-- Post Id 12345 to http://site.com/rss.php?id=<the id>
end if
return 120
end idle

Read My Apple mail RSS feeds every 120 seconds
Start by using a different RSS application.
Mail.app doesn't provide any access to RSS feeds via AppleScript, so there is no chance of doing this with Mail.app (or, at least, no easy way to do so).
Try something like NetNewsWire instead.
Once you have a viable app, the first part is pretty straightfoward:
on idle
if application "NetNewsWire" is running then
--extract a NUMBER from the links from those RSS feeds
tell application "NetNewsWire" to set numLinks to total unread count
end if
return 120
end if=idle
From here, though, I don't know what you're trying to do. You say:
then post them to a website url site.com/rss.php?id=<extracted id>
Do you mean you want to post the number of RSS messages (since that's what you asked for earlier), or do you mean you want to re-post the RSS articles? Or do you mean you want to download the links and re-post the entire linked article?
That's three options (and there are probably more), each of which require a different approach.

Mail RSS: Apple Hot News RRS does not display html page/images

Hi, everyone who use Lion in my community has Apple Hot News RRS and it is perfectly displayed in Mail RSS feed. as an html letter with pctures and etc.
I get only plain text with "read more" in the end.
I tryed to find the solution in every preference, option or right click - but either I'm too dumb or it is too complicated to be changed?
Please help.

Something I didn't mention in my original post: when I view the messages in webmail using Safari (the latest), all the content is there; but when the same messages are brought into Mail the content disappears.
Fortunately for me, the issue seems to reside only in content coming from this particular server; other html content comes through just fine. This is why I spent a week in server-side tech support. But because the content is viewable in ALL OTHER mail clients AND webmail, they think it's a problem with Mail.
And yes, I've fiddled with my phplist config.php file, and compared it to other phplist config settings that I use successfully. Besides the things that must change, all other settings are identical.
Apple tech? Any response?

How can i add an rss feed to mac mail?

I am trying to unclog my email and cancel many of the news related emails I get each day. I would like to figure out the best way to still get news sent to me (without having to always remember to check 6-7 websites). I used to use RSS feeds into my email program (was using outlook). I cannot figure out how to add an rss feed to show up in mac mail as an email folder on the left hand side of the screen under the mailboxes.
Thanks.

That functionality is not to be found in Apple Mail for Safari. Your best bet is the brilliant free RSS reader Vienna. Works very well, highly recommended.
