Saving RSS Articles

You can save copies of RSS articles in any of your mail folders, including your Inbox, so you can read them later.

 

Here’s How

  1. Select an RSS feed. (Remind me how.)

  2. Select the article you want to save by clicking anywhere in the summary except the title (which is a link to the full article).

    A selection bar appears to the left of the article to indicate that it is selected.

    A blue bar appears to the left of the selected article.

  3. To copy the article into a mail folder, hold down the mouse button over either the blue title or the vertical blue bar and drag the article to the mail folder of your choice.

    Drag an article to a mail folder to save a copy of it there.

    The article is now stored in the selected folder so that you can read it anytime.

    Tip: You can drag multiple articles to a folder at one time. To do so, hold down the Ctrl key and click the summary of each article you want to copy, then drag your selections to the mail folder.

 

What’s Next

You can forward an RSS article to friend who might be interested in it.
