Gmail inbox feed XML parsing

Hi!

I'm trying to write a parser that would take information from the Gmail inbox feed.

The problem that i have, I think, is associated with authentication and SSL-encryption.

I tried to get information using XML queries (from Daniel Shiffman's SimpleML library), and using loadStrings() function. The result is the same — if the URL is https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom — I get a 401 error (which is expected), but if i enter https://myaccountname@gmail.com:mypassword@mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom (which works correctly when i type it directly into browser URL bar) i get
1. java.net.MalformedURLException: For input string: "password@mail.google.com"
2. Something's wrong with the URL: https://account@gmail.com:password@mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom
Here is the code i used:
import simpleML.*;

XMLRequest xmlRequest;

String proto = "https://";

String acc = "myaccounthere@gmail.com";

String pass = "mypasswordhere";

String server = "mail.google.com";

String path = "/mail/feed/atom";

void setup() {

size(200, 200);

// Creating and starting the request

xmlRequest = new XMLRequest(this, proto + acc + ":" + pass + "@" + server + path);

xmlRequest.makeRequest();

}

void draw() {

background(0);

}

// When the request is complete

void netEvent(XMLRequest ml) {

// Retrieving an array of all XML elements inside "<fullcount>" tags

String[] counts = ml.getElementArray("fullcount");

for (int i = 0; i < counts.length; i++) {

println(counts[i]);

}

}
Сode works fine for everything except Gmail :<
I'll be very grateful if someone can help with some idea.
