All over the place it was reported that Gmail now supports ATOM feed, a nice way to be alerted via an ATOM capable reader client of incoming mail.

Unfortunately, the link is only shown to a few selected accounts.

Here is how everyone can access his or her Gmail account via ATOM feed:

Use this link: https://gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom

You'll be prompted for your Gmail user name and password. That's all!

If you don't have your own Gmail account yet, make sure to visit Alex's thread (http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=2338) for an invite!

Btw, does anyone know any Palm- or PPC-based readers supporting ATOM?

Thanks Morpheus!

If your reader doesn't support client authentication, you can also use the following method:

https://username:password@gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom

where username is your Gmail username and password your Gmail password.
