Hi guys. I'm a Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird fan. I used a Feed Reader for my subscribers and my email address for Google Alerts. I have learned I could replace Feed Reader by Thunderbird, which could be setup to get RSS files for Blogs, and etc. I want to known if there is any way to get the latest news from Google Alerts in Thunderbird in an RSS format.

Many thanks

I followed these directions to add a Google Alert to an RSS feed. After the alert was created, I right-clicked the RSS icon, Copy Link Location, then in TB selected Blogs & News Feeds, Manage Subscriptions, and pasted the link in the Feed URL box. The feed was successfully added to the feed list.
