How to Get Gmail Notifications (Even Per Label) in Your RSS Feed Reader

A few days back I was looking for various methods using which I could get my mails from Gmail inbox via a RSS feed reader.

Today I found this method:
  • Launch your RSS feed reader.
  • Create a new channel.
  • Type "https://gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom" for the URL of the new feed.
  • Enter your Gmail user name ("yogiraj") when prompted for a user name.
  • Use your Gmail password as the feed's password, too.
    • If that does not work, try using "https://[your Gmail user name]:­[your Gmail password]@gmail.google.com/­gmail/­feed/atom" (like "https://yogiraj:password@gmail.google.com/­gmail/­feed/­atom") for the URL.
To get notifications for new messages in a Gmail label in your RSS feed reader:
  • Append the label to the "https://gmail.google.com/­gmail/­feed/­atom/" URL (note '/' at the end).
    • For example, a label called "todo" can be tracked using the URL "https://gmail.google.com/­gmail/­feed/­atom/­todo".
  • Add the URL to your RSS feed reader as above. 

This method was found on: http://tinyurl.com/7bu5l

If you have any other method,or if this method doesn't work,then please let me know via the comment.
