Check Google E-Mail (Gmail) from an RSS Feed

If you have an RSS reader, you can keep up with your gmail through a feed.


Gmail is sweet. If you are like me and use a gmail account as your secondary email, you probably don’t want to log-in through the web and check it throughout the day.

Just 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 feed as private of your user/pass combo will be viewable by the public.

Update:

Edit: Google recently renamed it’s 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
