I use Thunderbird for feeds (but not email, newsgroups, calendar or chat).
It's just as capable as a lot of dedicated feed readers, all of which I found to be a bit clunky. As least Thunderbird's brand of clunky is nostalgicly familiar.
- beagle3 4y agoMy problem with Thunderbird (and the reason I switched to NewsBlur, which I happily pay for, although there's a freemium tier and you can also run it yourself) is that it has to be up to receive updates. That may be acceptable on an always-on-always-connected desktop, but on a laptop, when traveling or when I occasionally take a few days off technology - it means thunderbird has likely lost updates (most RSS feeds only publish the most recent 10-20 stories, so you need to poll them frequently). Not affiliated with NewsBlur other than a happy customer of 5 years, highly recommend it.
