RSS feeds in Entourage??? I sure don't have them and I don;t think that
the app supports them,

I know how yo can be lead to beleive that though as I've seen it before:
- use an Exchange account
- go on a PC and launch Outlook 2007 on the same account
(Outlook 2007 supports RSS feeds ad will create an RSS feed folder
populated with new news)
- go back to the Mac and launch Entourage:

Tha app will pick up the new folder and dispaly all the new news as
unread messages. You can read them, but Entourage will not update the
folder by itself as new news are made available through RSS.

Thank you Corentin, I am using an Exchange server with Entourage and
occasionally will open the account on a PC with Outlook. So is there a way
to subscribe in Outlook to RSS feeds?

Hi Alan!

Are you possibly referring to NNTP newsgroups instead of RSS?

While I've never used any of these RSS/Outlook products, a quick search
on the Interweb pulled these up and plenty more:

Thanks Bill,

The RSS folder in my Entourage just shower up one day. I was told in could
have been from opening Outlook using my PC with Exchange server, but still
on the Outlook/PC side I could not figure how to add RSS feeds into the
folder.

Well it only works from Outlook 2007. If you launch Outlook 2003, you
won't have this option.
I don;t remember exactly how you can do it in Outlook 2007, but it
shouldn't be too hard.

I agree with Bill though. You'll be much better of with a real RSS
client (I use NetNewsWire).
Regardless, the RSS feeds will show up as e-mail in Entourage (as you've
seen) but they won't update themselves... Only Outlook 2007 can
auto-update the news on your RSS feeds.
