Best practice
There is a simple rule that works best for Mindity: keep your M-Box lean and clean! This is especially true if you are subscribed to many feeds: it is always a good idea to mark as read all items you have viewed or just want to ignore. That way, you can be sure that you read your stories only once and you don't get junk piling up in your M-Box.
States
Use the Busy state if you do not wish to be disturbed. Mindity will not download any stories while in this state.
