Thunderbird allows subscribing to a news feed with a '/' in the title, but when attempting to read an article, it complains about not being able to find the folder. Steps to reproduce: 1) Subscribe to: https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/commits/fixes/0.24.atom 2) Read an entry in that feed Actual results: Error message Expected results: Able to read the messages fine Additional info: Manually create the folder name that doesn't have a '/' in it and then when you subscribe to the feed, choose that folder. This allows you to read the feed fine. The problem is that Thunderbird chooses a folder name based on the Title, apparently not considering unsafe characters.

I observed this for other folders too. I was trying to subscribe to a folder with title as "India/US" and it never showed even after a refresh. So I changed it to India US and it worked great. So I think the backslashes and forward slashes should be allowed.

this works for me in windows, can someone confirm this is mac only in current releases?
