GMail webservice or api available?

[Cirene]

I want to make an application that checks messages (including message
attributes, like From/To, Subject, Body, Date). Any suggestions?

I couldn't find an official GMail web service or API.

Thanks.

How about just using POP3? You can enable POP in Gmail accounts and then you
have a standard way for accessing Gmail messages.

Hope this helps,

Hmmm I haven't considered that. I will do some research.

I'm hoping many users will use my completed WinForm application and I was
hoping that they could check their GMail account without having to enable
anything in their GMail account. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks Mark. Useful as usual....
