Outlook is a popular email and calendar program that uses the Internet Explorer web browser. If you use Outlook on your computer, you may be using Internet Explorer’s RSS feeds to get updates about your favorite organizations and events. If you’re using Outlook on your computer, you can stop Outlook from using Internet Explorer’s RSS feeds by setting up a new RSS feed for your organization. You can also set up a new RSS feed for your calendar events by adding the event to your calendar and then subscribing to the event’s RSS feed.


If you have a ton of feeds, this could also theoretically speed up Outlook—at the very least it makes your system a little cleaner.

Note: If you aren’t using Internet Explorer or Outlook as a feed reader, you could simply delete all of the RSS feeds.

Disable Outlook Common Feed RSS Sync

To turn this off, go to Tools –> Options from the menu and click the Advanced Options button on the Other tab.

  

Now you can uncheck the item “Sync RSS Feeds to the Common Feed List”.

Now that you’ve disabled the Sync feature, you can delete all of the feeds from under the RSS Feeds folder.

You’ll probably want to also empty your Deleted Items folder after removing the feeds.
