Aggregate RSS Feeds with Thunderbird 1.5

     - Thursday, January 12, 2006

The latest release of Mozilla Thunderbird version 1.5 now has a great new RSS feed aggregating feature. Thunderbird's had some basic RSS functionality for a while, but it's been missing the ability to folder multiple feeds into a single location. Instead of needing to check a bunch of different folders, I can just have it all download to a single spot. Yeah, yeah, I know there's a bunch of other applications that will do this, but it's nice to have it in the same location as my email.

Upgrading from 1.0.7 to 1.5 was little nerve racking though. After running the upgrade, Thunderbird wouldn't start. Looked like it was trying to start, but then nothing would happen. After a couple tries, I finally just uninstalled and then reinstalled and it worked fine.
