Apple removed RSS functionality from Mail in OS X Mountain Lion. Here's how you can recover your lost RSS feeds so you can use them in another RSS application.

1. Open a terminal window.

2. Type in the following command, then hit Enter:

cd ~/Library/Mail/V2/RSS/

3. Type in the following command, then hit Enter:

find . -name "Info.plist" -exec grep -A 1 Feed {} \; | grep string | sed 's/^[^>]*>//' | sed 's/]*>$//'

4. This will show your RSS feeds in a list inside the terminal window.

5. You can now add those RSS feeds to your preferred RSS app in OS X Mountain Lion.

It definitely sucks that Apple killed Mail's RSS functionality, but at least now you can recover your lost feed information.
