I'm currently following 439 blogs using bloglines and receive between 200 & 300 updates a day.
With those statistics in mind I wasn't too sure about feed my inbox, but what the hey it is explore, discover, play, after all so I gave it a try.
On the feed my inbox home page you are asked to enter a website url and your email address.
Luckily HCPL Techincal Trainer had warned us in his post to enter the url of the rss feed and not the plain old home page url.
Once that is done you get a confirmation email from feed my inbox, and then updates from the website are emailed to you.
The feed arrives in your inbox as a standard email - with links as needed - (think email message version of usual bloglines update)
Given the number of updates I get each day I think I would prefer to have them sitting in bloglines waiting to be read rather than clogging up my inbox.
I could conceivably use it for sites that update only rarely - an email update would make sure I saw it and it wouldn't get lost among the bloglines.
However for the time being I'll stick with bloglines.
