About Atom
Atom is a system which makes it easy for you to receive, in one place, regular
updates from news websites, blogs, and/or Gmail. You can use Atom
with an aggregator (also known as a newsreader, feed reader, or RSS/Atom reader)
to receive new message alerts.
Using the Inbox Feed
The Gmail Inbox Feed will output your Inbox as an XML document.
You can use an RSS aggregator to view this, or you can consume the feed with
your own app. OAuth 2.0 is the preferred authentication
method, using the scope https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom and fetching
the feed with the request GET https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom.
