3. Click Next.
4. Enter the account name (eg. My RSS Feeds) and click Next and then Finish.

Step 2: For each RSS feed you want to add, subscribe.

1. In the folders pane, right-click on the new account (eg. My RSS Feeds).
2. Click Subscribe.
3. Click Add and enter the URL for the feed and click OK.

Note: This does not include listservs.
