Support for feeds enclosures. Support for renaming folders and the main folder (News&Blogs). Support for adding SSL feeds. This release will make a channel name unique in case of duplicate channel names. Crashing when the evolution-rss plugin is disabled has been fixed. Feed IDs have been moved from crc32 to md5. Feeds setup has been moved to gconf. This release supports Evolution’s network hooks. HTML entities in the channel name and article title are decoded.

    I don't know if this plugin will make me abandon liferea, but I would definitely like managing my feed items at the comfort of my email client. I was not aware of its existence and I think I'll take this plugin for a test drive soon. Things look great in the provided screenshot.

    Thanks :)
