Michael Sippey writes about Proxies and Local Servers, and outlines the requirements for an RSS
– POP mail accounts, tag and filter into a local mail store
– Fetch RSS feeds, parse and filter into that same mail store
– Offer IMAP daemon for access by your client of choice
– Web UI for administration (easiest way to get to cross-platform)
– XML-RPC or SOAP interface for “thumbs up / thumbs down” message scoring (“this is spam / this isn’t spam” for email, and “more like this / less like this” for news items)
Except for the last one, our RSS2Mail project is doing exactly that. Just wait a while…
