Which execat feed URL are you checking? There are multiple, that's why
I'm asking! It works just fine for me, so maybe you are checking on a
different URL 😊

Well if you recently upgraded thunderbird (check /var/log/pacman.log) a
good first step would be to see if it works with the old version.

not supported generally[1].
