RSS feeds are web feeds in XML format used to automatically publish frequently updated stuff (like blogs or news headlines) without your having to go back and check the original page for updates.

Which version of Outlook do you have -- 2003 or 2007?

Katymac · 04/07/2009 10:24

2007

You could try following these instructions to disable RSS feeds in your Outlook.

Katymac · 04/07/2009 10:53

I did

It didn't work

Thanks for trying - wish I never ticked 'yes' this morning

Right, so when you say your email doesn't work, what happens now?

Katymac · 04/07/2009 11:15

When I press Send & receive I get a list of RSS errors

If we keep this bumped someone with Outlook 2007 should be able to help. I only have Outlook 2003 and the full-on RSS support didn't come in until Outlook 2007.

Thanks - i am off hospital visiting lTEr so I'll have to bump it later

and you've been through tools-account settings-rss feeds and removed each one?

Katymac · 05/07/2009 22:15

I cleared them every time I try to fix them

They just turn up again

i know you've already done this, have you done this and closed outlook, shutdown computer and restarted?

Disable Outlook?s RSS Sync:

  1. Open Outlook 2007
  2. Click the Tools menu
  3. Click Options
  4. Select the Other tab
  5. Click the Advanced Options button
  6. Uncheck Sync RSS feeds to the Common Feed List
  7. Click OK X 2

sorry blog.jtbworld.com/2007/01/delete-all-rss-feeds-folders-in-outlook.html

otherwise, try deleting your windows common feeds, which you can do in vista. but will clear out any Intervet Explorer 7 feeds as well. this is summed up half way through this page.

you can click on the pics for closer view

TBH I have done so much now I am not sure what did it

But all of a sudden it works

Thanks for all your help
