Didn't work for me either this time but I've got it working again - so
far - this way:

Shut down Claws.
Replace ~/.claws-mail/RSSyl with a backup version from 3.10.
Restart Claws.

After the restart, I got all tghe feeds topped up automatiacally with
"new" stuff, i.e. that received since since the old copy was last used.

In the ~/.claws-mail/RSSyl folder, all the feed folders apart from
obsolete ones had been moved into the new "My Feeds" folder. 

I think the problems I had were due to using a beta copy of 3.11
(3.10.98?) before stepping up to the operational 3.11.1.
