Use Windows Live Mail to read RSS feeds in Windows Vista

Hey, I don't know if you'll see this comment on this ancient post, but I've been using WLM as my RSS reader in Vista for a while.

It seems I can't keep RSS items longer than 30 days. I usually save posts I'm going to review later and delete the ones I am done with. I read about 100 feeds, so I can't possibly remember all the crap I saw.

I notice that once in a while when I open IE 7, I come back to Windows Live Mail and most of my older, read RSS items are gone. This really sucks.

Is there some way to change this behavior? I'm not storing a lot of feed posts (under 20 per feed or something).

We share a last name BTW!

It may come as a surprise to you, but there is a free, built-in RSS reader in Windows Vista. Haven't noticed it yet? It's the feed reader that's available in Vista's Windows Live Mail. Windows Live Mail utilizes the Internet Explorer 7 RSS feed store

The new version beta Windows Live Mail works great. It would be nice to be able to use the favorites tool bar from Outlook.

This looks great! Some missing features prevent it from becoming my new default though:

1) OPML import/export. Yeah, I know I can do it through IE7, but that's still silly.

2) Feed favicons. I like how FeedReader/RSS Bandit will show the icons for different feeds.

3) A quick way to go through new feed items. In FeedReader or RSS Bandit I can just keep hitting spacebar to navigate through my unread feeds. Even with the setting to mark messages read immediately, and the uncomfortable Ctrl+U keyboard shortcut, it's not quite the same - it can "skip" messages.

4) It looks like embedded Flash videos don't play.

I'm been using Windows Live Mail and I think it's great.

But in the new build I cann't find and old feature that let me import my friends Windows Live Spaces feeds to my RSS Feeds.

I hope this feature returns in a future build.
