Details: I'd like to be able to manually disable some feeds and folders. Making so could grey them out or hide them as as read feeds. Archived could also be configured to be a smart feed.

Why this request? I'm probably not alone in taking time to curate my feeds and categorize them. But there are times in which certain feeds are less relevant to one's life. Deleting them would be to drastic. A good example could be my news category. Whilst I find important to generally keep up with world news, there are moments in my life that I'd like to abstain from it. This could be a "detox" period, in which I want to not be exposed to certain topics.

Thanks

I wanted this last week! I was replacing Kill The Newsletter with Feed Your Email but wasn't ready to delete the old feeds yet—wound up moving them to "On My Mac" and making the whole account inactive but I can see how that might not work for everyone.

I would love this ability. Deleting feeds when I don't want them and re-adding them when I do is the obvious workaround, but of course means any items I have starred disappear as well, so it's not a particularly good workaround.

I assume deleting a feed also deletes any starred posts from that feed that might have rolled off the source? Seems destructive as a workaround.

Yes, exactly: any starred items disappear, including those that don't exist on the source any longer. Like I said, it is not a particularly good workaround.

I'd like to see this as well.

I just added a feed for "rpilocator.com" which posts alerts when a retailer gets Raspberry Pis in stock. It posts frequently. I'm not actually looking for a Pi right now, so the posts clutter up NetNewsWire, but I don't want to delete the feed because I might need it later.

I'd love to see this ability as well.

As another use case, I've found a handful of job board RSS feeds that are certainly useful when searching for work, but not as necessary when you are not actively looking. Disabling would be a great way to silence the noise but not lose reference for when you'd like to reactivate them.
