I used Thoth happily for many years. However, having just got a new 
Mini I found that the version of Thoth that I had on my G5 running 
Tiger wouldn't work on Mavericks and the version that does work on 
Mavericks can no longer be registered.

So I tried Unison and Thuderbird, and found I much prefer Unison, which 
was very easy to set up. The Unison interface quite a different  Thoth 
but as I've got used to it and find it easy to use. Getting used to big 
changes (and Tiger to Mavericks is quite a big junp!) isn't easy but 
afterwards one tends to wonder why it seemed such a big deal.

I went the same route after Hogwasher went to the slaughterhouse (at 
last, and RIP.) I'm finding Unison to be okay; more than okay, 
actually, as I've gotten more familiar with the interface and options. 
Life goes on.

Do you realize that you're replying to something that's almost four
months old?

Yes, but my switching experience was just last week, at which time I 
found this thread when I did a search to look for newsreader  
recommendations. After trying Unison I thought it might be a good idea 
to respond and add my own recommendation in case another new switcher 
did a search as I did.
