Tariq links me to Thimal's blog who created a script to get Gmail email in RSS feed, looks like my dream is coming true, I will be using it soon as soon as I get some time off this evening. Good work. Thimal, why does it need a web server?
There is also a link to Gmail backup Script on this blog, but here it is http://ilia.ws/archives/15_Gmail_as_an_online_backup_system.html.
