+| Improving Thunderbird's Feedreader
+| Since Google reader will not be accessible anymore, soon, many Gooders are looking for new website/application to migrate their data and use it instead of G-Reader. I have been playing around with Thunderbird Feedreader, for a while and I noticed the following shortcoming in it:
+- It does not respect the folder setting of G-Reader.
+- Finding the unread items is not easy: one need to check all the weblogs to find the unread posts.
+- Syncing: I have installed Thunderbird both on my school's desktop and on my home laptop. Since I am fetching my emails through IMAP protocol, I did not feel I need to sync my Thunderbirds. But having imported the weblogs I am following, this is a necessity.
+- Storage: Again, having multiple Thunderbirds urges having universally accessible storages (like Google drive or dropbox).
+- Tracking Weblogs with unread items is hard: One need to scroll all the weblogs to find the weblogs having unread items in them. Having the feature to hide weblogs without any unread item is going to be helpful.
+- Thunderbird does not render some folder names (weblogs name) properly: It mainly happens when the name of weblog is in Persian and it ends with close parenthesis (I am experiencing the same issue in Firefox, too)

+| Amir: I believe 1,2,5 and 6 are the most important items. Then we can work on 4, and then 3.
