I like Thunderbird’s RSS functionality, especially the way you can forward interesting snippets from blogs to your friends via e-mail without copying from one news reader application to your mail client. I’ve only set up a few blogs and news sources in it so far but here’s a screenshot of Thunderbird’s RSS reader. There’s probably something similar in Outlook, but I haven’t used Outlook so can’t confirm…
Hi John. I’m using Evolution for mail at home, and Outlook 2000 at work. Maybe it’s the corporate version of Outlook I’m running, but from what I can see it doesn’t appear to support RSS, or newsgroups, or indeed anything other than email.
I haven’t used an RSS reader in a while, but I’m starting to have trouble keeping track of all the blogs I want to read! Judging by your experience, Thunderbird sounds like a good candidate for me to set up at home and at work.
