Hey all, I was wondering if anyone has suggested a small feature to Google Apps that would probably benefit a lot of people. I've looked all around and haven't found a way to get this yet.
We use Google Apps for Education with the SAML SSO authentication, so our passwords are not stored offsite at Google. We are at a point where we need to create a portal channel for our Luminis (uPortal) portal, and without jumping through a *lot* of hoops we are unable to get the "last unread" emails displayed in the portal. We can't simply pull the atom feed URL (https://www.google.com/a/ domain.edu/feed/atom) and preprocess it to make it look nice, because the atom feed relies on SSO to authenticate the user, and if the portal software pulls the feed, it gets an error. I've tried a simple IFRAME channel set to the inbox URL (https:// mail.google.com/a/domain.edu/#inbox), and it does (almost) the right thing. Everything works in so far as the SSO works properly, but as soon as the IFRAME loads, it immediately pulls up the full Gmail interface and replaces the entire contents of the current window. We know that Google would rather us use their "start page" as a simple portal (which I would personally rather do than use Luminis), but the PTB's *insist* on Luminis. Is there any URL that we can wrap into an IFRAME (relying on the SSO!) that would allow us to simply display the most recent unread emails, similar to the google start page??
