RSS Feeds in mail not updating

There is another thread [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1322871] about RSS not updating in Mail.app. It is closed so I can't post a response to it. Whilst the solution offered might work it isn't really very elegant.
If RSS feeds no longer seem to be updating then it could be that the SQLite3 database that manages it has some corruption or space issues. The best solution is to fix this database (rather than to replace it as proffered in the other thread). To do so, first quit Mail, then open Terminal and enter:
   /usr/bin/sqlite3 ~/Library/PubSub/Database/Database.sqlite3 vacuum.
When you next open Mail, RSS should be returned to normal

I wonder what the problem is and how to resolve it. Anybody out there have an idea?

  • RSS Feed Widget is not updating

    Hello,
    I have a problem with iWeb. I was working great with it until today. I added 3 new blog entries and published them on my site and the RSS Widget is not showing them. It was working fine before but now it doesn't

    iweb3 rss feed widget does NOT work in real-time (if at all), I sent feedback to them already (no reply) and I summed up in my post here:
    http://www.cyclosaurus.com/Home/CyclosaurusBlog/Entries/2009/7/25Not_iWebWidget.html
    I also included a much better alternative than iweb rss feed widget but you will have to do much of Yahoo's Pipes studying.

    don't hold your breath, those guys at apple should know (in five minutes) what the problem is by look at their own code.

  • RSS feeds slow, counter not updating after reading

    Until recently, my RSS feeds were functioning normally. They loaded quickly and once read, the counter would reset to zero. This is no longer so. Thinking that I had too many feeds (about 90) I've subdivided them into several folders each containing 20 feeds or so which I open individually in tabs. The problem however persists.
    The other annoying aspect is that once a feed has been read/clicked, the counter still shows as if I have unread feeds.
    I've deleted the preference files and unchecked the fraudulent security tab but it has made no diference.
    Many thanks,
    Leonardo

    Go to the Finder: Your User Account>Library>PubSub>Database folder. There, move the Database.sqlite3 to the desktop and restart Safari. Let me know if the feeds now correctly update. If they do, you'll need to reset any custom settings in the feeds.

  • RSS feeds into mail

    Have just upgraded to Mountain Lion, there seem to be some backward steps:
    used to be able to view RSS feeds in Mail - not possible now
    in Safari used to be able to have 2nd search file in toolbar - not possible now either.
    Progress???

    RSS support was removed from Mail and Safari. You'll have to use a third-party app.
    Options:
    NetNewsWire
    Red Sweater subscribe to feed

  • Has mail lost the rss feed in the mavericks update?

    I no longer see the rss feed in mail.  Is this because I did the Mavericks update and will it be coming back?
    Thanks for the help

    I know of no email application or app for Mac, paid or free, that also supports RSS.
    Did you look at stand alone feed readers?  http://netnewswireapp.com/
    there are many.

    What did you try In Launchpad?
    Hold the option key until the icons start to "jiggle"
    Then you should see an X to delete an app.

  • Can't see RSS feeds in Mail

    I've subscribed to a couple of RSS feeds in Mail (multiple times because it doesn't seem to be taking) and I'm not seeing anything about RSS in my sidebar. Is there a trick to getting them to show up and being able to read them within Mail?

    OK... Back again - this is driving me crazy. I see SEVERAL posts of people having the same issues as me, but I do not see any real answers (in posts, Apple support, or just plain Google).
    I do have more information though:
    I now have the issue that RSS feeds either stop updating, update and bring back several old posts that I have already deleted (and cleared from the deleted messages), and RSS links disappearing and RSS showing an error (~) next to it, and finally the RSS section disappearing altogether.
    I have read some suggestions to go into Finder and delete the SubPubAgent.plist file under the user directory (done that, now it has not reappeared), and to Quit the SubPubAgent process in Activity Monitor, and restart Mail (Have done this SEVERAL times, and it seems to "change" things, but doesn't fix anything). The one thing here that seems to throw up a red flag is that the SubPubAgent process shows 3 threads, and when things are going ok, it looks like it has a Virtual Memory usage of ~30MB - when things go haywire the Virtual Memory shoots up to just under 600MB, at which point I will have received the several old posts, feeds stop updating, or all the feeds just go away in the middle of my session. This 600MB Virtual Memory amount seems to be a limit that something dealing with RSS feeds is "trying" to exceed, and Mail cant handle it. But no matter how many times I try to delete messages to bring things down, they just keep coming back the next time I restart Mail.
    ANY suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for any support, and take care!
    Jeff

  • What happened to my RSS feeds in Mail?

    I bought the new Mountain Lion OS, and now I no longer receive RSS feeds in Mail.  I cannot find any soluion except to install an RSS app...which makes no sense to me.  So far, not thrilled with the Mountain Lion.

    Not thrilled with Mountain Lion either.  I had a bunch of RSS feeds that I read and now they all just disappear and I have to spend $5 to get a decent RSS reader?  And update Parallels to get that to work.  So yes, Apple your OS has gotten cheaper but it's costing me much more in the long run.  Wish I hadn't upgraded...
    Apple's going the wrong direction

  • Does 10.7.5 remove RSS feeds in Mail?

    I updated my wifes computer to Mountain Lion 10.8 when it first came out.
    She hated the fact that the RSS feeds were removed from Mail and Safari.
    So, I had to put her back on Lion 10.7.4
    I am hesitant now to update her to Lion 10.7.5 if it in fact updates the Mail and Safari so it no longer has RSS feeds.
    Can anyone tell me if indeed 107.5 removes the RSS feeds?
    She does not want to lose the RSS feeds in mail.
    Thanks

    Didn't realize this was such a difficult question.
    I guess I have everyone stumped or no one on these boards has updated to 10.7.5
    Is anyone running 10.7.5 ?

  • Problem adding RSS feeds in Mail

    After upgrading to SL, I'm having some issues with adding new RSS feeds in Mail.app. Some of the feeds are being added without any problem (e.g. http://rss.support.apple.com/macos) while others can't be added (e.g. http://images.apple.com/main/rss/hotnews/hotnews.rss): when I click "Subscribe in Mail" in Safari, the Mail.app window gains focus but no other (visible) action is performed; when I try to add this new feed directly in Mail.app, there's no reaction after the "Add RSS Feed" popup window is dismissed.
    I've seen a lot of issues related to Mail.app in SL in this forum but I haven't found anything similar to this problem. Any hints on debugging/solving this issue?
    TIA for any answers.

    OK, I now resolved this issue. I removed the ~/Library/Mail/Envelope Index file, re-run Mail.app and after that I'm able to add all my feeds back to mail. I haven't tried that before so I'm not sure if it's a matter of the 10.6.1 update or just a solution to this issue.

  • Synchronising RSS feeds in Mail

    I have a number of RSS feeds in Mail, where I find it very useful to keep tabs on them.
    I have the RSS feeds on my iMac, and although I have a MoblieMe subscription and everything is sent to synchronise, the RSS feeds do not appear on my MacBook (running the same versions of the OS and Mail).  Everything else comes across; rules, accounts, etc.
    Is there anyway I can copy a collection of RSS feeds in Mail on one machine to another, without having to resort to adding the manually and individually?
    Thanks.

    I agree. I have had the RSS feed issue in the Mail app and also in Safari, not updating the RSS counts with viewing. Copying the Pub Sub folder from a "Guest" account into a "shared" area on the drive, so I could later use it to replace my current Pub Sub folder fixed both problems. A great fix.

  • RSS Feeds in Mail - error -

    Hello,
    Please help, my RSS feeds in mail and safari will now not work ?!?!? I can this error in Mail when trying to update a feed :
    There was an error updating the RSS feed “Apple Hot News”
    An error internal to the Publication Subscription framework occurred.
    And when I try to view it in Safari I get this :
    Safari can’t open the page.
    Safari can’t open the page “feed://images.apple.com/main/rss/hotnews/hotnews.rss”. The error was: “Operation could not be completed. (PubSub error 203.)” (PubSub:203) Please choose Report Bugs to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.
    I was wondering if anyone has a solution to this issue, as RSS feeds are crucial to me ????
    Thanks

  • Import RSS feeds to Mail

    Anyone know of a way to import OMPL rss feeds into Mail?
    --Andrew

    I have a manual way that will work. It will take a few steps but you can import in whole or in batches. If you have many feeds you may want to do in batches so as not to mix them up.
    This will work with Vienna. It may just work with other readers too.
    1) open Safari, and get to the bookmark manager (menu bar/bookmarks/show all bookmarks)
    2) create a temp folder we can use to import the feeds. (*1)
    3) open vienna & select a single feed or a range of feeds. (*2)
    4) drag & drop the feeds in to the temp folder in safari you created in step 2.
    5) open mail, got to (menu bar/file/add rss feed). Select the temp folder (*3)
    6) click the all the check boxes and click add and your feeds have been imported. (*4)
    If you had to do it manually this worked for me. Beats cut/paste links or manually typing. There is probably other ways to do it. Hope Apple patches this RSS feature soon. I dont want to wait for OSX 10.6 to see an improvement.
    Notes:
    *1 - Create a temp folder for each sub folder in your news reader. This will speed things up.
    *2 - Unfortunately it does not drag and drop the folders you physically have to select the range of feeds. If your selection does include the folder (eg. your selection strattled 2 folders it will still process your selection. In other words it ignores the folder and drags your selection.
    *3 - If you did create a temp folder for each folder group you had in your RSS feeder this is a step you would repeat at selecting the various temp folders. But read not 4 before you do.
    *4 - Yes you have to individually click each box. Another grip is that even though you highlighted a folder in Mail it will import the feeds to the RSS main folder. This means you have to select & drag/drop into the sub-folder.
