Using the add-on with the Thunderbird, I experienced some problems.

1. It seems that Bamboo doesn’t support non-Latin letters in path to the folder with feeds file. At least under Windows/NTFS.

2. Each time Bamboo checks a feed and it contains new items, it clones the list of items to the storage and thus removes old entries. For example, xkcd.com has only 4 items in its RSS feed, and Bamboo keeps exactly 4 last items from xkcd, no more. The user merula described the same problem below. Julien, could you answer, is that a bug or a feature?

3. I need to add the web page URL manually each time I add a new feed. All other tools I tried can find a URL automatically.

Below are suggestions.

4. Refreshing can take significant time, and while it lasts I can’t see, which feeds contain unread entries. I would prefer not to see refreshing icon or see it near the number of unread items, not instead.

5. It will be great to remember, how to show each feed: collapsed or expanded, with unread entries or not.

But for all that I am impressed with many interesting and useful features of the add-on. The low score follows from the removal of old entries, that makes Bamboo unacceptable for me.
