If you’re having trouble with the Digg RSS feeds under Thunderbird ever since they upgraded the system to “version 3.0″, it’s because you have to be logged in. The trouble? Thunderbird supports no way to log in and cookie support is blocked by default.

However, according to [1] MozillaZine, all you have to do is copy your cookies.txt file from your Firefox profile folder to your Thunderbird profile folder, then add the following line to prefs.js (in your ~/.thunderbird directory):

user_pref("network.cookie.cookieBehavior", 3);

(Be sure to have shut down Thunderbird before making this change; it writes all preferences on close to the JS file.)
