What is rss2imap?
rss2imap is a tool which gets RSS (RDF Site Summary) from web and delivers to the IMAP server as an e-mail message.
rss2imap enables you to use IMAP supported MUA as a RSS reader and to use IMAP functionality effectively such as unread mail management. You can choose mail format, either text/plain or text/html.
if you are tired of maintaining rss with more than one distributed client and DISLIKE web interface like google reader or bloglines, this software may be for you. rss2imap is an easy to use, preferable software for those who maintain imap server.
By reading Screenshot page, you can know how rss2imap works.
