How do I edit an RSS feed URL in Outlook 2007?

I tried figuring out on my own for some time, but I wasn't able to find a way.

NOTE: I was able to change/modify all other properties, like Feed Name, Delivery Location, Downloads and Update Limit, though, except Feed URL from Tools -> Account Settings -> RSS Feeds -> Change...

There doesn't appear to be a convenient way to do it. It might be easiest to add a new feed with the address you want. Then point that feed to the folder you were using previously.

1This could be a workaround. But, I'm surprised there is no easy way to edit/modify existing Feed URL directly. – Gnanam – 2012-05-23T11:58:39.180

I was surprised too. But in a way it makes sense as changing the URL essentially changes the feed entirely. RSS is based on the URL more than anything. As simple as it is to add a feed, they probably just let that be it. – CharlieRB – 2012-05-23T12:36:31.957

Agreed, but there are cases (mine too) where the Feed provider itself just changing the URL path alone but the feed content remains the same. BTW, thanks for your comment. – Gnanam – 2012-05-28T06:19:23.550
