"Mastodon is just like email."
Like email? So I use Microsoft Outlook?
"Use WHAT"

(Tools -> Account Settings -> RSS Feeds -> New -> https://mastodon.social/@Gargron.rss)
@zhuowei why did i not think of this
@n0toose I was planning to write my own POP3<->Mastodon proxy, but then I found that Outlook natively supports RSS...
@zhuowei @n0toose Yes. Fully featured Outlook, Office 2021 included. Sadly, this is considered a premium feature by Microsoft, so no support for this in either Outlook Express or Windows Mail.
@sazanlip @n0toose Windows Live Mail does support it, according to ABM_Prottoy: https://twitter.com/ABM_Prottoy/status/1594186824981032960
