Hello,
just to make sure: You have enabled SSL on your Apache web server and configured the proxy for both HTTP and HTTPS, right?

Ok - have you added the server certificate to the trusted certificates of Windows? As long as you are not using a properly signed certificate it could be that Outlook rejects the host. And since your configuration is basic to say the least Apache generates an ad-hoc server certificate.

its not a self signed certificate. it is a certifcate from globaldomain. but nvm i imported the certificate. but i receive the following message:
"der rss-inhalt kann von Outlook nicht über https://myalfrescoserver/share/feedservice/components/discussions/rss?site=mysite" verarbeitet werden. Der Hyperlink zeigt möglicherweise nicht auf eine gültige RSS-Quelle.

Since you're configuration code did not include the certificate setup, I assumed it might be a self-signed certificate.
Not being a professional MS Psychic (TM), I am out of sensible ideas, so I have to stick to the usual questions:
<ul><li>Can you provide some example data from the RSS feed (redacted, primarily the structure / links are of interest)?</li><li>Is there anything in the Windows application logs about this?</li><li>Is there some information in the Alfresco or Apache access log? May be the Outlook client is modifying the URL you entered in some way that results in an error…</li></ul>

Hello,
it seems that Outlook may actually not be very compatible with SSL secured RSS feeds. Almost all examples I find only deal with HTTP and <a href="http://themetaq.com/articles/how-to-fix-the-secure-rss-glitch-in-outlook">this guy wrote a blog post about a secure RSS glitch in Outlook</a> which he circumvented by allowing simple HTTP on the feed.
That may explain the extra http:// - Outlook does not expect a https:// and considers it just a part of the URL, prefixing the expected http://
