Can anyone help with an OS X Mail RSS and Xserve problem? We can use Mail to read 1,000's of sites but it can't access our own Xserve without constantly being fed a user name a password. It's driving us mad! Surely there's a way around this. I've tried authenticating and using remember me keychain using Safari and then browsing the feeds in Mail. I've tried diddling with the keychain stuff but all to no avail. This is just such a small but HUGE problem. Because our guys can't seen new feeds added to Mail, nobody bothers to click the exclamation mark and then go through the authentication process. The Apple site delivers RSS without authentication and they surely use Xserves so how come it's so hard to find an answer to this problem. Appreicate any (secure) ideas.

It's very inventive. I thought you might want to know that I found a much easier way to do this elsewhere: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=2008040920544426 It's still a bit clunky as you can't export just a few folders of feeds from Google Reader, so if you want to get rid of some you have to do it before exporting the file, or after putting it in Mail, but it's super simple. The only thing the directions at the link doesn't mention is that you have to cd to the folder where you saved the OPML file that you exported. then run the script. anyway, just a hint for those who are trying to do this. c So first of all, how you even came up with this workaround mystifies me, but I am totally impressed.

I love Safari; always have. In fact, the RSS implementation is the main reason I’ve continued to use Safari instead of switching to some other browser. I can load up a bunch of feeds into a single folder, right-click on that folder, and presto! Full-screen RSS! To each his own, I guess. :-) “But Safari for the most part is nowhere near powerful or feature rich enough for most of us.”

I was excited to see it in mail so I could just check my new feeds while checking e-mail. Unfortunately, it kept crashing my mail application. The feeds would update, but as I would go through my new feeds, I would get the beach ball of death. I just started using google reader instead. So far I like it, and I can see everything on my iphone. I also tried RSS in Apple Mail. I was excited to see it in mail so I could just check my new feeds while checking e-mail.
