Gmail Status is a Konfabulator Widget that checks your unread Gmail messages. Clicking on the unread message count exposes a small message reader in which you can read one line summaries of your mail. Clicking on the envelope icon launches you to the Gmail website.

Gmail Status is integrated with Mac OS X's Keychain, so you may experience some security dialogs the first time you run the Widget. Gmail Status uses the Keychain to share access to your Gmail account credentials with your web br…owser; your account information is not stored in Konfabulator's plaintext preference file.

Gmail Status accesses Gmail's Atom feed using HTTP basic auth over SSL, so your password is not transmitted over the network in plaintext. More
