Did you install Microsoft Outlook 2007 lately and want to transfer all the feeds from Internet Explorer or your online RSS aggregator to Outlook 2007? Here is how to do so.
Export Feed Subscriptions to OPML file
From the File menu in Internet Explorer, click Import and Export…
Click Next, select Export Feeds
Select a file name (say, export.opml), click Next and click Finish.
Note: If you’re using a online RSS aggregator (such as Bloglines, Google Reader etc.) you should be able to export the feeds subscriptions to an OPML file.
Import the OPML File in Outlook 2007
Start Microsoft Outlook 2007
Under Mail Folders, expand Personal Folders
Right-click RSS Feeds and click Import an OPML File…
Select the OPML file that you exported from IE or other feed aggregator.
Select the RSS feeds you want to add, and click Next.
Outlook 2007 will now fetch the feeds automatically.

Ramesh,
If you want to be a god among the RSS crowd, then what’s missing right now is an OPML export/import/sync utility that handles NESTED FOLDERS, which neither IE nor Outlook does.
The app needs to FIRST read the existing folder tree of the RSS feeds to be exported, and build a folder tree on the import side. Then it needs to transfer the feeds as smaller chunks of OPML files — one inside each folder.
Currently, if you carefully organize the RSS feeds in one MS app, then export, the folder tree vanishes, and you wind up trying to put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
