Microsoft’s Office Online is the premier portal for information about the Office suite of applications and tools. We all know how much fun it is to hear directly from the product team, and in that vein a new column has started up on the site that’s part editorial, part satire, and part how-to, and it’s called Office Hours.
I wrote an article for the site called “Outlook & RSS – a match made in syndication”, and it’s a primer about why RSS is in Outlook and how to make the most of it.
The other articles on the site are fantastic; as an avid OneNote user, I found Michael Bernstein’s article on note-taking to be both useful and a great read.
I hope you enjoy the site as well. Thanks!

It would be helpful if the site had an RSS feed or if it already has, you would include that in the article. - G
Are you referring to the Office Hours site itself?
What I'm curious about is; why no full item support in Outlook to improve productivity anymore? Now if you want to read full items (most RSS feeds don't hold the full item) you continuously need to switch between Outlook and your Internet browser. In that sense a dedicated RSS application would be more efficient. Capturing the full item isn't the answer either because with a lot of RSS subscriptions your pst-file will explode. Also, and probably more important, you'd be missing out on the community features offered by the website. Security reasons because of/and design limitations come to mind. I was wondering what your view on this is. Of course this is just the first version of Outlook that supports RSS. How can we see support for it develop in the future?
Agreed; it's rather silly to have this article about RSS, with a pullquote saying that any news site worth its salt has an RSS feed -- and post it on a site that doesn't have an RSS feed. The "Why You Should Care About File Formats" article is amusing, too. Not much information, and what's there is disingenuous to say the least.
How can we download all the rss entries that have been published? With the default setting we can only download the last weeks entries. It will be really cool to specify x number of days of entries to download....
The ability to add a blog to Outlook through IE7 is terrific: it's both seamless and painless, the perfect user experience. And the ability to automatically download content is a huge plus for those of us who suffer at the hands of the airlines. But I'm wondering about one situation I'm having, namely, postings reappearing as unread. Prior to SP1, I was losing entries in Tools|Account Settings|RSS Feeds (the entries were restored by clicking on the feed name under the RSS header in Mail Folders). That problem has been solved but now I frequently get dozens of entries for the same feed, as if the last blog reader ID has been wiped out and Outlook is resetting it by re-reading everything and reporting the last read ID. I'm wondering if I've misconfigured something but I'm doing so little it's hard to me to screw up!
I am sort of a newie to you, I am having one hell of a time trying to recover outlook after being saved to an exterier hardrive..... Can't find the information anywhere, and the techs on line won't slow down so one can copy their movments. I am a little tierd of paying some computer place to recover the information at $150.00 a crack, they will not let you watch or tell you how. Surly there must be some information on this somewhere, can't find it on any of microsofts info. on line or their courses, even got Microsofts 2007 professional outlook course and nothiong on recovery..The techs that would talk to you say, it is something one picks up ...BUT WHERE...And they won't tell you. AM I floating on cloud nine or is there some sort of big SECRET...If you can't help then perhapse you could steer me to where the informstion isfound, and don't say on line because all they mention is that outlook is not saved the same way as other information.. That is were they stop nothing on how to use the procedure from import to outlook. Where I am hung up are the little moves inbetween. ( When I am in the hard drive, cant get to the C drive, when in the C drive can't get into outlook.)I guess to you this sounds funny, but to me I am copleatly lost. Would greatly appreciate any help I can get...
