Check Google E-Mail (Gmail) from an RSS Feed
Posted by AlexTheBeast in Google
If you have an RSS reader, you can monitor your Gmail through a feed. Read on to discover how this is done.
If you use a Gmail account as your secondary email, you probably do not want to log-in through the web and check it throughout the day.
Instead, you can check for new email through your RSS feed reader.
Here is the URL to your Gmail RSS Feed:
- https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom
Just replace USERNAME and PASSWORD with your own case-sensitive user/pass combo. If you are using a web-based RSS-feed reader, remember to set these feeds as private so that your user/pass combo will not be visible to the public.
Update/Edit: Google recently renamed its sites. Please use this instead: https://mail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom.

Is it possible to get just some e-mail, eg. those with specific label?
I use many filters and I’d like to get to my feed e-mails labeled “ipod” (http://mail.google.com/mail/#label/ipod)

If you just want something on the desktop why not try Digsby – a great app that puts your email and social media accounts in the tray
