Track Your Unread Gmail Messages RSS-Style
Posted by Adam Pash at 12:00 PM on March 4, 2008
We've already highlighted how to subscribe to RSS feeds of your Gmail labels, but the Google Operating System also points out how easy it is to subscribe to a feed of all your unread email using the built-in unread label. In essence, you'd just add the following URL to any feed reader that supports authentication (of which Google Reader is not one):
https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom/unread/The really cool part of this feature is that you can open the email directly in Gmail from the item in your newsreader. Just remember, if you're subscribing to your Gmail unread feed in a newsreader that makes feeds public, be sure your privacy settings are properly configured so you don't end up sharing any of your private email messages.

Is there a similar option for yahoo mail? I use that for less important stuff/almost never, but I'd sure like to find out when I have a new message.

If your planning using this feed in Firefox, you could change the browser.bookmarks.livemark_refresh_seconds, in about:config, to any value in seconds, like 60. This will make live bookmarks update every minute; an interesting - i think - think to all the Gmail addicted users.
