News feeds can be read directly in Outlook, the individual messages then appear in a subfolder of your email inbox, similar to new emails.

Follow these steps to subscribe to a feed in Outlook:

• The news feed to be subscribed to is provided via an http address, it resembles a link to a download file and is often displayed with an RSS symbol, the abbreviation XML or similar. By right-clicking on this link, you can save the link address to the clipboard.
• In Outlook, click on the "File" menu at the top and then on "Information" → "Account settings" → "Account settings" (see Fig. 1).
• In the window that opens, click on the "RSS" tab and then on "New". An input box will then appear in which you can paste the http address of the feed previously copied to the clipboard (by right-clicking or using the Ctrl-V key combination). Complete this by clicking the "Add" button at the bottom (see Fig. 2).
• You can now close the "Account settings" window to complete the setup.

The subscribed newsfeed now appears in the "RSS subscriptions" subfolder within your mailbox. Outlook automatically keeps the list of messages there up to date by regularly checking the feed.

• In Thunderbird, you need a so-called "feed account" in addition to the registered email accounts. If you have not yet set one up:
  • Click on File → New ... → Feed account ... (see Fig. 1).
  • Give the feed account a name of your choice (e.g. "Newsfeeds", see Fig. 2).
  • Confirm and close the setup.
• You will now find your feed account at the bottom of the folder list of your set-up mailboxes, recognisable by the name you have given it and the typical feed symbol. Right-click on it and then click on "Subscribe" (see Fig. 3).
• In the Feed address field, right-click or press Ctrl-V to paste the http address of the news feed you want to subscribe to, which you have previously copied to the clipboard, and confirm by clicking the "Add" button at the bottom (see Fig. 4).

The subscribed news feed now appears as a subfolder of your feed account. Thunderbird automatically keeps the list of messages there up to date by regularly checking the feed.
