Gmail Checker
Description
NOTE: As of Opera 9.2,
this widget no longer works
.
Checks your Gmail account for new messages every five minutes.
Things I'm planning: preferences, nicer look on Linux.
Note: it's currently not possible to make an XMLHttpRequest using HTTPS. It's therefore not possible to login "from" the widget. Instead, a normal password dialog will be appear. As soon as HTTPS is supported, this widget will be updated.
Tip: if the widget reports unread mail, but there are no unread mail in your inbox, search for [is:unread] to see if there are unread archived mails.
