Using Outlook as an RSS reader

Your Outlook can not only act as an email reader and organizer, but it can also couple up as a feed reader. You can use Outlook to receive RSS feeds from the website of your choice, in the form of messages.

Though the RSS feed reader is less sophisticated, the fact that it displays the feeds as messages is just about enough.

• Once you open Outlook, Select the Account Settings option from the Tools Menu.
• As soon as you click on Account Settings, a new window is opened. Click on the RSS field present on the dialog box.
• Clicking on RSS opens a new window, as shown in the figure below. In the RSS feed box, enter the feed URL from which you want to receive RSS feeds, and then click on the Add button.

• Once you have added the feed URL, the next step is to choose the location where you want the feeds to be delivered. You can specify the destination path in the Delivery location field.
• You can now read and also forward your RSS feeds in Outlook with ease.
