Completely disagree. Feeds in email, simply messes my inbox. Why? Because with feeds enabled my inbox is always full, because I put some posts for later read. And when someone emails me and it mixes up with the feed and I don't get to read it, because I am lazy to sort out my inbox, and I end up missing something important. On the other hand, RSS clients (I use G! Reader), keeps all the articles I wanted to read already sorted. Moreover, I have grouped the feeds based on its category, Friends, Technology, Internet, Humor etc, and select the group and the posts based on my mood. :) Guess different people find bliss with different ways! I disagree.

Considering I have some 60 feeds, everyday I have around 10-20 unread items. That can be a good solution Kevin but this whole concept of unread feeds freaks me out.

You can also import your feeds from other's such as Google reader. I know that Thunderbird has this feature. Outlook also may be having this. And there is no need to create a separate email ID for this. The only disadvantage is that you have to place your feeds for each working machine that you use such as at your work, home, etc. Most modern email clients have the ability to get rss feeds into their inbox as well.
