rss2imap is a tool which gets RSS (RDF Site Summary) from web and delivers to the IMAP server as an e-mail message.

rss2imap enables you to use IMAP supported MUA as a RSS reader and to use IMAP functionality effectively such as unread mail management. You can choose mail format, either text/plain or text/html.

If you are tired of maintaining rss with more than one distributed client and DISLIKE web interface like google reader or bloglines, this software may be for you. rss2imap is an easy to use, preferable software for those who maintain imap server.

Here are some key features of "rss2imap":

Generate IMAP Folder dynamically from every RSS title, and so on.
If rss2imap detects update of web site, it changes timestamp of mail and make its status unread. This feature is useful for site update check.

By executing in channel mode, it can work as simple Antenna.
Reduce needless traffic by using If-Modified-Since header.
