How do I add an RSS feed in Evolution?

  • 772

I want to add a couple of blogs (mainly blogspots) to evolution. I already installed the RSS plugin and looked up what url I need to give in for the rss feed (via http://davesaunders.net/2009/01/how-...-blogger-blog/

In this way, I give in the following url to follow the blogspot

http://dingoo-scene.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss

But every time I do so, evolution seems to load something but hangs on 0%. Finally, I need to kill it because it doesn't react any more. I also tried the other options given by the first URL, but it doesn't help. NOw, how can I read RSS feeds in evolution please because it all seems so difficicult (in Kontact it worked like a charm I remember)

11.04

    You might be the victim of this bug

    A short excerpt of the bug summary:

    I use ubuntu 11.04.
The version of evolution is : 2.32.2-0ubuntu7
The version of rss-evolution is : 0.2.2-0ubuntu1

When I open evolution without option, It freezes after 2 seconds, but when I open evolution with the command "evolution --disable-eplugin", It works.
So I think plugin evolution-rss is the problem.

  2. Adding RSS feeds to Evolution can be done by going to Edit->Preferences->News & Blogs

    enter image description here

    Or, press the shortcut Shift+Ctrl+s and scroll down to select News & Blogs.

    Next, Select Add and paste the URL into the field provided.

    A new folder called "News and Blogs" will be created in the "On This Computer" section of the Evolution folder tree where your subscription feeds will be updated.
