Could you switch your feeds to a browser ?
There are RSS Add-ons for browsers.

As for your version, you could consult backup images of the machine.
For example, the "compatibility.ini" file in firefox at least,
tracks the current program version used with the profile.

Firefox, Thunderbird, and Seamonkey, use the same scheme.
Here, you can see my Seamonkey was updated recently to 2.53.20
and the profile was then "migrated" to that version.

[Compatibility]
LastVersion=2.53.20_20250104154918/20250104154918
LastOSABI=WINNT_x86_64-msvc
LastPlatformDir=C:\Program Files\SeaMonkey
LastAppDir=C:\Program Files\SeaMonkey

If you open a recent backup, there's a chance the
"compatibility.ini" will tell you. But there could
be a fair number of "compatibility.ini" sitting on disk,
somewhere. You can have profiles that are normally not
used, just sitting on the disk drive.
