How to enable cookies in Thunderbird?
shredder12
I am unable to read the RSS feeds because I need to login to view them
and thunderbird won't accept cookies. I have already added the line
user_pref("network.cookie.cookieBehavior", 3);
in the file pref.js file but doesn't work either.
Any suggestions!!

Not sure it works... but in Options -> Security -> Web content you can
find the cookie manager.

I am a little confused.. I don't see any Options tab in the main
thunderbird window. But while composing a message I can see it in the
top header and there Options->Security only has 3 options (encrypt,
don't encrypt, digitally sign the message).
I can't find the cookie manager. I am using Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 btw.

Ok, sorry. I was referring to Thunderbird 3b4 (It was TOOLS -> Option
ecc. there). You need more knowledgable users here..

Type cookie in the filter line, and all settings relevant to cookies
will appear. I suppose the one with AcceptSessioncookies is the one you
are looking for.

combinations but none of them seem to work. Can anyone suggest what
configuration do I need to enable cookies for RSS?

I believe, the the top 3 entries have to do something with my problem. I
have already tried toggling 1st and 3rd but that didn't help either. I
am probably missing out on something trivial, just can't figure out what.

cookies... cookies.sqlite whereas thunderbird uses a txt file
cookies.txt. How do I dump a sqlite database to txt file and that too in
the correct syntax.

I don't know what's the real problem but even copying the cookies didn't
help. I used the following command to dump sqlite database into a txt file.
sqlite3 -separator ' ' cookies.sqlite 'select * from moz_cookies' >
cookies.txt
The space b/w the quotes is tab space. I set my config editor "cookie"
settings back to default, copied the file to thunderbird's profile
directory but the feeds are still asking for log in(complaining that
browser doesn't accept cookies). Now, I just hope that the syntax for
txt file is correct after dumping.
Any suggestions!!

Be patient for a few more days until TB3 comes out. Cookies will work there.
I also have the Thunderbrowse add-on installed, which has it's own
setting for cookies. You may give it a try.

Please bottom post here, the preferred posting method, thanks.
Wait for TB3, cookies will be included.

Nevermind.. but thanks for your replies. Btw... I have tried every
possible method and now I have lost hope and have started using liferea
to manage my feeds.
