This is what I get, for every feed
Error while subscribing feed
http://www.abc.net.au/local/rss/riverina/news.xml

Folder name 'News from ABC Riverina' is not allowed.

Claws Mail 3.14.1 
System Information
GTK+ 2.24.31 / GLib 2.50.3
Locale: en_AU.utf8 (charset: UTF-8)
Operating System: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (x86_64)

Does this explain why my news feeds have all been deleted?
Any more suggestions?

Liz
