How to import or export a collection of RSS Feed subscriptions

This tutorial will help you import or export a collection of RSS feed subscriptions in Microsoft Outlook. There is a native feature in the Outlook desktop client to do it. This post includes all the steps to add or export multiple RSS feeds at a time.

Adding RSS feeds to Outlook is simple, but importing or exporting them one by one can be time-consuming. Thankfully, Outlook has built-in options for adding multiple RSS feeds at once, as well as fetching all RSS feed subscriptions from Outlook.

Export a collection of RSS Feeds in Outlook

To export a collection of RSS Feed subscriptions in Outlook, follow these steps:

Open Microsoft Outlook
Open File menu
Click the Open & Export menu
Access Import and Export Wizard
Choose Export RSS Feeds to an OPML file
Select RSS Feeds to export.

Use the Start menu or the Search box to launch Outlook. From the File menu, go to Open & Export. Under that menu, press Import/Export.

This will open the Import and Export Wizard box. In that wizard, select the Export RSS Feeds to an OPML file option, and press the Next button.

You can also choose the option to Export to a CSV or PST file of RSS subscriptions. But, the first option is more useful if you have to import the exported RSS feeds to Outlook again.

Now you can select the RSS feeds that you need to export.

Next, click on the Browse button to select the output location or folder. When the Save as the window is opened, give a name to your file, and the OPML file will be saved in the selected folder.
