tb 60.3.2 feed update

Post by willi uebelherr »

Dear friends, first i directed this question to the german forum. I will repeat my question in english. If you have a more specific subforum for my question, please, let me know.

I don't want automatic updates of the feeds. Therefore my setting:
- enable updates for all feeds: Yes
- default settings for new feeds: none of the 3 enabled

Tb updates anyway. The unchecked time cycle option was set to 100 min. How can I prevent tb from doing anything with the feeds by itself?

I think removing the check mark for "Enable updates for all feeds" should work.

Dear WaltS48, but then all the folders are grayed. And this is not, for what isearch.

Since many years i worked tith Tb and his rss-feeds mechanism. I use in priciple manual activation for email and feeds. Only with this new version the most stable parts from Tb now are unstable.

In the folder-settings of "Blogs & News feed" we find the config groups:
- Server Settings
- Defautl Settings for New Feeds

From the logic, what we can interprete from the text, we have 3 update principles:
- automatic with intervall definition
- manual
- initialising after start

The 2d way i try to go like before. 1 and 3 never i used.

Disabling that preference, selecting each feed, right-clicking and activating "Get Messages" works for me for a manual download.

Selecting Get Messages > Blogs & News Feeds from the Mail Toolbar ,gets all new messages for the account with the "Enable updates for all feeds" preference not checked.
