Add Gmail to your RSS Feed Reader

To get notified of new Gmail messages in your RSS news feed reader:

• Launch your RSS feed reader like Google Reader.
• Create a new channel.
• Type "https://gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom" for the URL of the new feed.
• Enter your Gmail user name ("sammy.sample") when prompted for a user name.
• Use your Gmail password as the feed's password, too.
  • If that does not work, try using "https://[your Gmail user name]:­[your Gmail password]@gmail.google.com/­gmail/­feed/atom" (like "https://sammy.sample:passphrase@gmail.google.com/­gmail/­feed/­atom") for the URL.

To get notifications for new messages in a Gmail label in your RSS feed reader:

• Append the label to the "https://gmail.google.com/­gmail/­feed/­atom/" URL (note '/' at the end).
  • For example, a label called "todo" can be tracked using the URL "https://gmail.google.com/­gmail/­feed/­atom/­todo".
• Add the URL to your RSS feed reader as above.
