Microsoft Outlook allows the user to use RSS feed option. This feature is integrated in Outlook so the user can view other blogs and publish his content.
To get RSS feeds from a specific website the user is required to add subscription of that website. This is done with the help of RSS subscription file which has the extension of OBI. This file allows Microsoft Outlook to get RSS feeds from that website. The file contains the address of the website and other metadata which is required by the Outlook to add the website in RSS feed list. For each website this file is different.
In addition to the problem described above, i.e. the lack of the appropriate application to support the .OBI file, there may be several reasons that cause problems with opening and operation of the data format:
A quite common problem is the lack of application in the appropriate version. Even if you have an application, with the help of which you should open the .OBI file, you may have a problem with it because of its version. Perhaps in previous versions the application has not yet supported the .OBI file, so download the update and check again.
If you have already installed the appropriate application, and it is the correct version, the file may not open correctly, because the operating system does not have information that this program supports the file. So you need to "show" which program the computer should use. To do this:
It also happens that the file you want to open is corrupt and therefore there is no such possibility. In this situation, you should find its different version, or ask a person from whom you got, to send it again.
There may be several reasons why you cannot open the file with .OBI extension. Directly on this website you can find a solution of the most common problem with the .OBI file – that you do not have on your computer the appropriate program to open the file.
