Managing Your RSS Feeds

Once you have your RSS feeds set up, you might want to change aspects of how the RSS feeds are configured, such as changing the URL that the RSS feed is derived from, changing how it downloads enclosures, or changing how other users can access a particular RSS feed on your computer.

You can configure options for controlling RSS feeds in Outlook 2007 in several ways. To control how Outlook 2007 handles all RSS Feeds, choose Tools, Options, select Other, and then click Advanced Options to display the Advanced Options dialog box, shown in Figure 16-14. In this dialog box, you’ll find two options that affect RSS feeds:

  • Sync RSS Feeds To The Common Feed List

  • Any RSS Feed Item That Is Updated Appears As A New Item

Configure handling of RSS feed items and synchronization in the Advanced Options dialog box.

To change the configuration of an RSS feed once it has been set up, choose Tools, and then choose Account Settings. In the Account Settings dialog box, click the RSS Feeds tab, shown in Figure 16-15, select the RSS feed that you want to modify, and then click Change.

Select the RSS Feeds tab to change an RSS feed configuration.

The name of the RSS feed can be modified in the RSS Feed Options dialog box, shown in Figure 16-16, and the Channel Name, Location, and Description are displayed. You can change the mailbox folder as well as the mail storage file in which the RSS feed is contained by clicking the Change Folder button. The Downloads area includes controls for how RSS downloads are handled, including whether to Automatically Download Enclosures For This Feed and whether to Download The Full Article As An .html Attachment To Each Item. Although the Update Limit option to use the publisher’s recommendation for update frequency is selected, this option can be disabled, allowing you to update the feed manually. For more information about configuring these options, see "Adding RSS Feeds to Outlook" earlier in this chapter.

The RSS Feed Options dialog box lets you control the name, the storage location, and how the RSS download is managed.

You can also enable or disable downloads in RSS feeds in the Trust Center, on the Automatic Downloads page, where you can select or clear the Permit Downloads In RSS Items check box.
