Feed2Imap

Feed2Imap is an RSS/Atom feed aggregator. After Downloading feeds (over HTTP or HTTPS), it uploads them to a specified folder of an IMAP mail server or copies them to a local maildir. The user can then access the feeds using Mutt, Evolution, Mozilla Thunderbird or even a webmail.

Rationale

Feed2Imap is an attempt to solve the problem most roaming users experience when trying to keep up with their feeds. Other solutions to this problem include :

Feed2Imap isn't the first project transforming feeds into emails. rss2mail (Perl), rss2email (Python) and Newspipe (Python) do this, but they send items as emails, so you spend a lot of time playing with procmail.

Screenshots

Of course, how it looks depends on your MUA !
