*********************************************************************
* SYNOPSIS
*********************************************************************
This script turns a Gmail inbox into an RSS feed.
It runs as a Google Apps Script: https://script.google.com/.
*********************************************************************
* INSTALLATION
*********************************************************************
1) Create a blank project on https://script.google.com/
2) Copy this script in your new project
3) Run the script by clicking Menu > Run > doGet
4) You will be asked whether you agree to grant this script access
to your Gmail account. Accept the request.
5) Create a first version by clicking Menu > File > Manage Versions
6) Deploy this script by clicking Menu > Publish > Deploy as web app
7) If your RSS browser supports authentication for private feeds:
- Select 'Execute the app as : User accessing the web app'
- Select 'Who has access to the app : Only me'
If your RSS browser does not support such authentication:
- Select 'Execute the app as : me'
- Select 'Who has access to the app : Anonyone, even anonymous'
Do *not* select the latter if you plan to run this script on your
personnal Gmail account. You would expose all your mail to anyone
on the Internet. You would rather use a test account.
Note that few RSS readers support authentication for private feeds.
FeedDemon's pro version supports such authentication. Google Reader
does not (http://support.google.com/reader/answer/78730).
8) You will be given a Google Apps Script URL. Paste it into your
RSS reader. You may have to authenticate. The feed will display
all messages contained in your inbox.
