14.1 Subscribing to RSS Feeds

When you subscribe to RSS feeds, the GroupWise Feeds folder is created. It displays the RSS folder icon Internet Account General Settings dialog box in the Folder list. A list of the feeds that you are currently subscribed to is displayed under the GroupWise Feeds folder. You can create subfolders under the GroupWise Feeds folder and move feeds to the subfolder. When you click the subfolder, the message list displays a list of all the topics for all the feeds under the subfolder.

How you subscribe to RSS feeds depends on your Web browser. Instructions for setting up RSS feeds from two popular browsers are provided as examples. If the RSS feed functionality of your browser does not interact successfully with GroupWise, you can set up an RSS feed from within GroupWise.
