Choosing a newsreader is a very subjective matter, but here is the one I like to use (and have used for a long time). RSS Bandit is an RSS and Atom feed reader, allowing you to subscribe, organize and read newsfeeds. It also allows you to merge feeds from multiple sources into a single page for easier browsing.

Main features include:

Organize feeds in categories;
Integrated search
Comments viewing and posting;
Import and Export Feeds;
Customizable views;
Many others;

Many customization options like:

Update Interval (for each feed);
Custom display formatters;
Fonts and Colors;
Treatment of attachments and podcasts;
Various browser security restrictions (Images, JavaScript, ActiveX, etc.);
Item expiration policy;

Overall a very attractive newsreader, deserving a look by anyone looking for the right newsreader. Adding feeds is very easy – I usually just drag the link from the browser and drop in RSS Bandit. Strongly recommended.

YPOPs! is a free application, that provides free POP3 and SMTP access to Yahoo! e-mail. It provides a gateway, which converts the POP3 requests from your e-mail client to requests to Yahoo! web-mail. In other words you can use Mozilla Thunderbird, Outlook, Eudora, or any other POP3 e-mail client to get and send your e-mails.

You can also set it to empty the Bulk and Trash folders on exit. It can also put your sent e-mails to your Yahoo! web-mail sent folder. It is very easy to configure and work straight after the installation.
