Read Gmail inbox as a rss feed

It looks like the folks at GoogleLabs have added an RSS/Atom feed to Gmail. Very cool. It's even SSL to keep things nice and safe. Now, where can I get one of these to install for my regular pop/imap accounts? I'm hooked!

Update: Just to clarify… the "visit site" link below is the gmail atom feed link. If you want to subscribe to it in your RSS reader, though, you'll probably need to use a URL in the following format:
https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom
That'll plug your username and password into the request, since your RSS reader probably can't prompt you for one. Also, this is mostly just to let you know you have mail.. it only displays what you'd see on the gmail inbox screen. This is probably what they're using for the Gmail Notifier, behind the scenes.
