Hi, I've been having a lot of issues with the RSS feed handling on Thunderbird 115 on Fedora 39. It's been very unreliable with my collection of RSS feeds assembled in Thunderbird over the past ~15+ years. So I've been working on recreating my feeds account and after a few times it's been working more reliably with my 200+ RSS feeds. But I've noticed the behavior of the RSS feeds only updating every 100 minutes or so per the new default.

I did re-import my feeds after changing the account settings default of "Check for every new messages" to say every 10 minutes rather than every 100 minutes, but it didn't affect existing feeds or new feeds added after that point.

As a longtime Thunderbird fan it's been quite frustrating especially with long relying on the RSS feeds. Is there anyway to force-override how often all RSS feeds are updated? Or any guidance to where those individual settings are stored so I can find/replace the values all much more quickly than updating on a per-feed basis?

Thanks many, Michael

each feed has it's own frequency, there is a setting in the account settings for each feed account to set a default for new feeds. That is all there is as far as I know.

What you need to consider is that frequent checking of feeds often results in the web server ignoring you because you have checked the feed to frequently (denial of service). This results in Thunderbird suspending checking the feed entirely until you right click the account and select get messages to restart the process.

So is the setting being ignored, or are your provider web sites not responding when polled every 30 minutes?
