Ezra Asks:

Do you know if its possible to turn an email box into an RSS feed?

I’m sure it is.  Although how to go about doing it will depend largely on your email provider.  For instance, if you’re on GMail, there’s an Atom feed available of your mailbox already, although it requires a feed reader capable of authentication for privacy reasons.

For other providers, it might get a little more complex, but it wouldn’t be too bad.  I’m not aware of any services that will do this automatically off the top of my head.   But setting it up on your own wouldn’t be all that complex if you have some PHP knowledge (which I believe you do).  You could use something like this PHP POP3 Class to poll your mailbox then you could use something like SimplePie to create an RSS feed of the data.  I don’t have any experience with the PHP POP3 Class, but I’m sure if it didn’t work out there are likely many more, and probably even IMAP implementations as well.  SimplePie, I have used, and find it to be quite nice.
