Really Simple Syndication (RSS) provides a quick way to read the latest updates from your favorite websites. Many websites offer RSS Feeds so that when a news article or a summary of an article is posted, it's also sent to your RSS Feed folder in Outlook. If you've added an RSS Feed to Outlook and want to unsubscribe from the RSS Feed, see Remove an RSS Feed from Outlook.

The first time you add an RSS Feed to Outlook, you're prompted to choose if you want to keep your RSS Feeds subscriptions list synchronized between Outlook and the Common Feed List (CFL). Regardless of the option you choose, you can change your choice later.

  1. On the File tab, choose Options > Advanced.

  2. In the Outlook Options dialog box, under RSS Feeds, select or clear the Synchronize RSS Feeds to the Common Feed List (CFL) in Windows check box.
