I don’t know of any other means of synching.

Is there a FREE way I can synchronize the RSS Feeds between two or more computers using IE7? Sorta like a "Foxmarks for IE7"? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Jim Hello,
Sorry but I couldn’t find another place to post. Is there a FREE way I can synchronize the RSS Feeds between two or more computers using IE7? Sorta like a “Foxmarks for IE7″?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I agree that seems plausible, though I checked my own app and it only ever writes to the IsRead property of an item, as I mentioned. Then again, there is Outlook 2007. I had an odd occurrence with this yesterday. Both the RSS options are OFF in Outlook 2007, since I don't like the way it integrates with the store. However yesterday I was doing a POP3 send and receive for a test, and noticed it was retrieving RSS feeds. I cancelled the operation, looked in the settings, and mysteriously the RSS Sync was back ON. I know it was off before, because the only feeds I had in the Outlook RSS folder were the few it had retrieved before I cancelled the send and receive. And I know I didn't re-enable it. So maybe Outlook is doing some other unexpected stuff with the RSS store; but this is pure speculation. Tim Thanks Walter.

Is it possible that you ran a script or app that manipulates feed properties? Feed free to email us (as Miladin said) as you uncover more details. -Walter Tim,

We have never seen or heard about this problem before. The only issue that even remotely reminds me of what you’re seeing was related to a proxy randomly returning incorrect content. If you come up with additional details or would just like to discuss this issue further feel free to email us at teamrss@microsoft.com. - Miladin Tim,
