Question

Get Mail to play nice with OPML file —> RSS Feeds?

I've got an OPML file I would like to import or somehow get to work with Mail's RSS reader. Is this possible? I am going crazy trying to figure this out (shooting in the dark).

Thanks for any help you can offer...

Have you tried dragging the OPML file into the Mail sidebar? In theory, that should work, though any folders or groups *may not* be preserved.

Doesn't seem to work. I've tried two different OPML files from crazedlist.org, in case Mail didn't like the use of "&" or something they suggested. No luck.

Well, then try this:

1. Open Mail
2. Go to File » Add RSS Feeds...
3. Choose the Specify a custom feed URL radio button
4. Click in the entry box and hit Command-V to paste the feed URLs
5. Click the Add button

You would have to do this with every individual URL, but this should work.
