I remember when I used Mozilla Thunderbird. It had the perfect interface to deal with all my feeds AND my mails. I went to Google Reader when I also went to Gmail, when I wanted to access all my stuff from the cloud instead of my computer.

I think now it would be the best time to get Thunderbird back on it's feet. Add the ability to sync with a Google-Reader-like API, like the one that Feedly wants to do, and it would be the best reader for Windows, in my humble opinion.

Is there an English site for this?

mail.yandex.com has it in English yes

I would say that except for the responsiveness of the layout it is as good as google reader. It is a little laggy to load things but otherwise it is all drag and drop, very familiar feeling. It might not be the best but unless there becomes a defacto replacement for GReader, or they decide to keep it, I have a feeling I will just stick with this.

Missing: Thunderbird I've discovered recently that Thunderbird includes a feed reader and it's not too bad, although I'm not sure I like the idea of showing feed entries as mail. https://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/how-subscribe-... Edit: link

I don't use Thunderbird, but I do like the idea of getting RSS feeds as email. I'm trying out http://blogtrottr.com
