Adding RSS feeds to Outlook 2007

June 30th, 2008 by Jason Gutierrez

Outlook 2007 allows you to add RSS feeds and view them right in the Outlook client.

In short, to add an RSS feed to Outlook 2007:

1) Locate the link to the RSS feed, shown here in Internet Explorer
2) Right-click on the RSS icon, and copy the shortcut.

Switch your focus now to Outlook 2007.

3) Right-click on the RSS Feeds folder in your mailbox.
4) Select the option "Add a New RSS Feed"

5) Paste the address of the RSS feed into the window provided, and click ADD.
See the list at the end of this article for feeds available from Announce.unt.edu

6) Click "Yes" at the warning to accept the feed.

News published on this site will be immediately available to you in your Outlook 2007 client. Enjoy.

Additional instruction on how to add an RSS feed to Internet Explorer 7 or Outlook 2007, see this link on the Microsoft Website (http://office.microsoft.com/client/helppreview.aspx?AssetID=HA1015953910...)

Note: The content of the feeds is added to your Exchange mailbox and is counted against your email quota. If you collect a lot of news feeds you will want to keep an eye on how many feeds you add. Make sure to periodically delete unwanted news items from your feeds folder.

To unsubscribe from a feed, right click on the feed in the RSS folder, and select delete.

UNT RSS Feeds:
To subscribe to the feed, copy and paste the URLs below in to the subscription window of your RSS reader (see step 5).
