If I just try to subscribe to the Gmail atom feed as usual, first of all I get the URL:

file://https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom

Looks pretty strange. If I click Done I get an "unable to add feed" error. So I remove the "file://" and get the same thing.

So I see two potential problems:

- Maybe the RSS app can't handle feeds via HTTPS. I've tried other Atom feeds but I couldn't find other HTTPS feeds to test with so I don't know.

- Maybe the RSS app doesn't handle cookies - obviously you need to be logged in to get to your mail's RSS feed.

Anyone have any ideas?

Edit: Tried this too:

Still no luck.

Another update:

Apparently using FreeMyFeed works, but it's way too insecure for me to consider:

Update:

This could be due to a bug older than Maemo 5
