Mountain Lion Users: Restore Your RSS Feeds in Apple Mail

By Guest,

September 20, 2012
restore apple mail rss feeds in mountain lionIf you, like me, use Apple Mail as your RSS feed reader, you may have noticed an unpleasant surprise during the recent upgrade to Mountain Lion—namely, the disappearance of your feeds (among many other bugs).

After I resisted the urge to throw something, I took a few deep breaths and turned to The Google for help. My answer? Apple, in its infinite wisdom, decided to remove this feature in the new version. No warning, no heads-up, no opportunity to export feeds for an easy transfer to another reader—just, bam. No feeds. Thanks a lot, Apple! (Note: I had some more colorful words for the company—but I didn’t want to embarrass Shelly on her home turf).

The good news? You can recover your feeds and add them to another reader. Here’s how:

Restore Your Missing Mail.app RSS Feeds

Open the Terminal

Copy and paste the following code into Terminal: cd ~/Library/Mail/V2/RSS/

Hit Enter

After that, copy and paste this code into Terminal: find . -name “Info.plist” -exec grep -A 1 Feed {} \; | grep string | sed ‘s/^[^>]*>//’ | sed ‘s/]*>$//’

Hit Enter

Once you’ve picked a new RSS reader, copy and paste your feeds into the program. After that, you can resume your daily blog reading habits. I know I’m enjoying my triumphant return to the blogosphere.

Did you run into this issue after upgrading to Mountain Lion? I’d love to know which RSS reader you’re using now.

The company’s first product, PocketHealth, is a mobile personal health record app that lets you securely store and access your health data from your mobile device.When he’s not developing mobile health technology tools, Joe enjoys cycling and finding solutions to pesky problems–especially when they’re technology-related.
