    This sounds great. I signed up and set up both Pine and Mulberry to access their IMAP server but so far haven't been able to access (or even see) the blogs that I subscribed to via their web-based subscription page. Any tips for setting this up? What IMAP client are you using?

    Thanks.

      In case anyone is interested, I eventually was able to see the RSS feeds in my IMAP clients. The reason that I was confused before is that I expected each feed to be in its own public IMAP mailbox and that I would be able to see all these mailboxes immediately upon subscribing to them. But the way it works is that after you subscribe, the feeds all start being delivered to your INBOX and your INBOX builds up a massive amount of intertwingled messages from all the RSS feeds that you subscribed to *starting at the time that you subscribed*. It would be useful if they explained this on http://rss.blogstreet.com!
