Bug #1110.
The RSS Feed Reader is a PoS and not worthy of being on the Internet Tablets as standard, to be honest - there's a ton of bugs against it in Bugzilla, and Nokia have admitted it needs a full rewrite which couldn't happen soon enough. Mind you, same could be said for the email client also.
Voting for bug #1110 may help Nokia focus more effort on fixing the RSS Feed Reader - so far this bug only has one vote even though it seems to be a farely common issue (judging by posts on this forum).

Thanks for that ...
What are the preferred rss reader and email utils for the N800?

The feed reader losing its feeds is most likely because you turned it off while the feed reader was updating, corrupting the opml file - my biggest complaint across the two apps by a country mile.

1. Deleting feeds randomly
2. Deleting articles before they are read
3. Listing articles on the home applet which don't exist when you open them
4. Reboot loops (hopefully fixed)
5. Dodgey screen drag scroll implementation
Just five bugs off the top of my head which make the RSS Feed Reader upleasant if not impossible to use. The main internet focused apps on the Internet Tablets should be excellent examples of their kind, not some old crap that ticks a box.

I find the RSS reader quite useful too, not a piece of crap as sometimes noted.
The only real, but painful, bug is the disappearence of the feeds. I had this too a few days ago. Hoped it would be fixed with the new release, but it is still there.
Save your opml file often.

2 - It doesn't delete articles whatsoever. RSS is not supposed to work that way. It's just supposed to give you the absolute latest headlines. Anything older shouldn't be seen anymore because they are no longer the latest.
3 - Happens when you check just after an update, but not that often.
4 - Never saw this happen, but I can tell you that I was quite paranoid about it when I bought my N800 because I had to get mine imported from the US into Canada back before it was offered up here and the last thing I wanted to do was ship it back to Nokia in the US.
5 - I've never even tried it so it doesn't affect me.

4- haven't experienced that one

2. Read the bug concerning this issue - hiding behind some ridiculous spec designed for machine-to-machine communication doesn't cut it when discussing applications designed for humans!
3. Still a bug, and annoying
4. Plenty others did
5. That makes it OK then!
Any clue why this might have happened? The last time I had it powered on (the night before) everything was fine.
Thanks,
David
