Adding RSS to Outlook 2007  

Posted by DAVID KURNIAWAN in

In response to a question on a previous RSS tutorial, today we will focus on adding an RSS Feed to Outlook 2007.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Outlook 2007 overview

The following screenshot is of my Outlook 2007. Forgive the selected censorship, but I don't want to admit how many insider trading deals I currently have operating. Let's look at the major three sections we're looking at today:

  1. 1.1 RSS Folders - by default all RSS feeds will appear as a sub-folder of 'RSS feeds'. As you can see, I've organised mine into sub-folders based on the my morning horoscope.
  2. 1.2 RSS Feed View - the most useful pane of all, a chronological view of all 'articles' that are contained within a feed. Allows you to filter BS from gold within seconds!
  3. 1.3 RSS Article - is what we're here for at the end of the day. You'll notice that some RSS articles are complete and others are teasers with links to the authors website.

Outlook Account Settings

3. RSS Feeds

4. News RSS Feed

  1. 4.1 - find your RSS feed
  2. 4.2 - paste the Feed URL into the field
Add RSS Feed

5. RSS Feed Options

  1. 5.1 General - name your feed. this will typically be entered by default.
  2. 5.2 Delivery Location - this feed will be added as a sub-folder of 'RSS Feeds' by default. this setting allows you to change where is feed is categorised in the section 1 from 1.1. Don't stress, we can always change locations afterward.
  3. 5.3 Downloads - leave these settings off as the whole point of RSS is to decide whether we want to full articles and attachments, remember!?
  4. 5.4 Update Limit - leave this setting on.

6. Oraganise yous RSS Feeds

Yay! Unless you tried to add an invalid URL, the RSS gods will be smiling and the birds singing. If you continue having issues, paste the troublesome URL into a web browser, if the page fails to load then it's definitely an invalid URL.

Remember I said we can organise our RSS folders after they've beene added? It's simple:

  1. 6.1- right click on your RSS folder.
  2. 6.2 - select 'New Folder...'.
  3. 6.3 - rename the folder as appropriate by right-clicking on the recently created folder and selecting 'Rename'.
  4. 6.4 - drag and drop feeds as desired.
