Curl - Check gmail

Check your gmail from Linux command line

Using curl, you are able to read each of your unread emails (subject and who it's from) in your command line.

NOTE: Change the username to your username, use your full email if you are a google apps user.

curl -u username --silent "https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom" | perl -ne 'print "\t" if /<name>/; print "$2\n" if /<(title|name)>(.*)<\/\1>/;'
