Here’s another way to use it:
With an RSS app added to a Facebook “Page” and using this email-to-RSS, it means I can do the monthly mailouts and keep FB up to date in one go.

Yes, I am trying to find ways to cheaply communicate with friends and family while out of the country. Although it is $3.99 a min to call US from French Polynesia (also $0.75 text and there is NO internet) it is free for me to email from my phone. Setting up an RSS will be a great way to let some of my normal FB or Twitter followers know what is happening.

i want to be alerted to items that may interest me on ebay. ebay has a saved search feature that will update e daily with new items for auction that meet my saved search criteria, but the only method of notification available to me is email. i would much rather browse these results through my rss reader than go to my inbox for them, and so would love some kind of service that could act as a workaround solution and convert the emails to rss.

yes, because many employees are sending forward emails and jokes to other employees, while this is not profesional, we – IT dept. – want to make users send to an email specific for sharing these things and thatr email would go to RSS blog, whiever is interested should go there and read rather than having it come into their mailboxes.

I’m not able to access any personal email from work – but I can access a feed reader. So turning my email into feeds may enable me to check important email’s at work.

I agree with the gist of the post that there’s not a huge reason for this tool other than to share email content. Cleaning out your inbox and subscribing to mail-only news/updates can be done by setting up email subscriptions with services like Bloglines and NewsGator, which does not require any independent tool for mail to rss conversion.

Reasons why someone would want RSS to email:
To declutter the inbox – send all your group mailing lists to an RSS feed instead and read them in Google reader etc – apart from decluttering your inbox it also means you dont have to syncronise masses of mail list emails when mobile etc -you view them seperately in your RSS reader. I guess it also groups similar content, as RSS and mail lists have a lot in common, as opposed to personal emails.

Site unavailable now, but I found http://torss.net which do the same, but not required any registration and also can generate for you own random email address, so POP or IMAP not required

I plan to use a mail 2 rss service to deal with NYC’s MTA subway alerts. They send out about 15 / hr, and it’s clogging up my mailbox. Unfortunately, they haven’t set up rss yet.

I found the following very interesting online service: http://www.mail2feed.org
This is a very good service that offers you the possibility to read your email as an RSS feed.

Email to rss is a great way to get newsletters you want by not cluttering your inbox – I read rss when I have time and that’s how I’d like to read newsletters. I just setup blogger blogs for each newsletter and forward them to the blogger email – it adds them to the feed and I have them marked as read in gmail so it’s like they never came in there.

I have a media extended that can subscribe to rss feeds but not email. This would be useful for email on it.

I am writing my own email2RSS app (not at working stage yet). My reasoning is that native email cliient on Symbian totally no good and there are no decent alternatives. So I am thinking about trying RSS feed from email in Opera Mini.
