Gmail RSS updated?

Post by MikeG621 »

So apparently google has changed the atom feed address? Got a notification on my tablet that I had a few emails, but my skins haven't picked them up. Sure enough, I've got constant WebParser errors and attempting to manually follow the address gives 404.

Has anyone worked out how to use the new address properly? I tried opening gmail and using the RSS button in Firefox and applying the same user:pass addition to the URL that returned, but that doesn't work.

Any ideas?

When you sign up for 2-Step Verification, we normally send you verification codes. However, these codes do not work with some apps and devices, like Gmail on your iPhone or iPad, Thunderbird, Rainmeter and Outlook. Instead, you’ll need to authorize the app or device the first time you use it to sign in to your Google Account by generating and entering an App password.

Didn't think about trying the app password, 2-step wasn't on when it first stopped working (is now, though). That took care of it, thanks.
