Its a relatively simple exercise to parse the output of:

curl -u username:password  https://gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom

and get the subject lines etc. well it is if you know how to work with
xml, which I really don't to any great degree.

try it on the command line, it is pretty nifty.

perhaps an exercise for the list, write a script to get your gmail atom
feed and display a nicely formatted list of the emails. 

3 lines or less? perl one liner?
