In short, the answer is YES. But it takes a time. 

The current items that high priority is given is:
- The suffix ".eml" support for messages  (e.g "123.eml")
  Without this, we cannot use desktop search(Google or Vista) on Windows.

- S/MIME
  GnuPG 1.9.20 now works well in my environment at last!
  I will implement encryption/decryption of S/MIME

- Master password
  POP/IMAP/SMTP/SSH passwords should be protected with one password
  and they should be stored a cipher file.

- MIME editor
  Deleteing attachments of received messages, such and such. 

RSS support comes after them.

The reason why I'm interested in RSS is I want to research a new
messaging system. This is called "pull model". In this model,
communication is based on "white list". Sending messages are stored
in the sender's side. A receiver repeatedly polls friends' side
according to white list.

We can ensure that you receive message from friends only. If a friend
send a spam message to you, you can unsubscribe him/her from your
white list. And a sender side is sure that the receiver read messages.

With the current deployed technologies, we can implement this
messaging system on RSS (or blog).

One problem to be resolved is user authentication. That is how we can
tell people who can poll messages of our side.
