  Gmail Agent API / Mail Notifier & Address Importer :: Johnvey
As Sergey mentioned, an enterprise version of Gmail would be well received, and I have no doubt that there would an API to go along with that (I recently integrated a Google Search Appliance, and can attest to its extensibility).
Whenever you log in to Gmail, a copy of the UI engine is loaded into one of the HTML page frames and remains there for the duration of your session (credit has to be given to Oddpost for being the first ones who perfected this idea).
Subsequent actions from the Gmail interface are then routed through the Gmail UI engine in your browser, which in turn makes HTTP requests (via the XmlHttpRequest object) to the Gmail server, interprets the DataPack (more on this later), and updates the UI dynamically.

 The Trouble with Gmail
Even though the configuration of the Gmail service minimizes the intrusion into privacy, it represents a disturbing conceptual paradigm -- the idea that computer analysis of communications is not a search.
When you log into the Gmail to retrieve and view your e-mail, the service automatically scans the contents of the email and displays a relevant ad on the screen for you to see.
So, if I send a mail to a Gmail user (let's assume I don't know anything about Gmail, and therefore can't be said to have "consented" to the examination) and Google's computers learn the meaning of the message without my consent, this action theoretically violates the California wiretap law.

 POP Peeper - FAQ
At this point, you should be able to check your GMail account and see all your messages in POP Peeper.
Unfortunately, at the time of this writing, GMail has a quirk that subsequent checks will not return the messages that you have already retrieved and this will cause POP Peeper to remove the messages.
Hopefully, GMail will change this behavior in the future, but in the mean time, there is a workaround.
