Hi, my Thunderbird works flawlessly when connected directly to the
internet.

I set up an ssh tunnel with the command
ssh -D 333333 -f -C -N -q myu...@proxy.my
In the MM3-proxyswitch addon
(https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/2648)
I set these parameters:

[tunnel-ssh
http=localhost:33333
ftp=localhost:33333
ssl=localhost:33333
gopher=localhost:33333
socks=localhost:33333
nntp=localhost:33333
mailto=localhost:33333
all=localhost:33333
]

Email and newsgroup accounts still work fine. Only the RSS feeds
don't get any update, all of them. They work fine again if I unset
the proxy and connect directly.

MM3-proxyswitch sets up correctly the parameters specified in the
knowledge base: http://kb.mozillazine.org/RSS_proxy_(Thunderbird)

Any idea? Thanks.
