However, some questions and feedback:
- You don't have an example of what the digest looks like - what does it reduce messages into? I thought that one of the things in the sidebar might have been a link to a page with more details, but nope.
- Why only gmail? Shouldn't it work with any service that allows forwarding of messages? Or do other email providers have their own verification step that you haven't added support for yet?
"- Under Chrome 12, the text in the sidebar changes my cursor to indicate that it's a link or otherwise clickable, but clicking it does nothing. The only places where you use cursor:pointer are in skin_mockup.css, so that might be the culprit."
This was actually a problem in all browsers - sorted now.

Here you go: http://emaildigest.me/sample_digest.png I've also added that sample in a link at the top of the page.

I just haven't tested it with anything other than gmail. For all I know it'll "just work". I do know that, where I have my email forwarded from, say, iain@workingsoftware.com.au to iaindooley@gmail.com from my mail server, the "from" address isn't being processed correctly (that's on my to do list).
I don't know enough about the email RFC to know if what I've written is going to work across the board.
