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....

As long as your users supply a valid Gmail username and password, there is
nothing to stop your application from checking their email for them. No
special setup is required. Visit gmail to see the settings.

GMail requires an SSL login for POP3.  Any idea how to do this?  Thanks.
