Great post. thanks so much for this. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. MADNESS not to include a simple ‘import OPML’ option. MADNESS.

Ah well – mate thanks so much!

Hello and thanks for a really great site. 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. Thanks, Norm

So first of all, how you even came up with this workaround mystifies me, but I am totally impressed. It’s very inventive.
I thought you might want to know that I found a much easier way to do this elsewhere:

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.

Thanks for posting this. Saved me a lot of time getting my RSS from Evolution under GNU/Linux (export as OPML) to Apple Mail.
