They also have odata endpoints so you should be able to get at the data (updated weekly) that way. It looks like there is a problem with it at the moment, though (I get 'server error'):

Wow. This thread just alerted me to the existence of that 'other' mailbox. I had no clue that existed. That could have saved me some trouble; I just found this message from last July:
I just wonder how many millions of messages that have gone unnoticed. I've seen a few articles written, alerting people to it's existence, but it's not like people are searching for articles on things they don't know exist.
If you signed up early enough and bought an album (or something like that), Amazon gave out free unlimited storage for music. With that, there's no good reason to move to Google (20k song limit) - they have a perfectly good Android app, a decent web player, and they make it a snap to upload/download from your computer. I've tried Google music out and I agree - the software is really annoying.
It doesn't help that I already spent a month uploading my music to Amazon. I'm not going through that again anytime soon.
I signed up very early, but Amazon wouldn't let me buy an album from Amazon.com and wouldn't count albums from Amazon.de. Internet without borders, please..?
Aw, before I clicked through, I guessed this article was from the 90s - I was sure that vim had taken over the world by now. Goodness gracious, folks, it's 2012!! :-)
In all seriousness, although these are all good points and I'm quite jealous of Emacs' tetris mode, I think you're missing out on one of the best features of Emacs: shell mode. IMO shell mode (or whatever it's called) should easily be at the top of the list. I wish there were a decent analogue to this feature in vim but there really isn't, just a bunch of not-quite-there plugins...
It's against VIMs design philosophy to include a shell. The idea is that you shouldn't use shell (and other things) from vim, you should use vim from your shell. You have access to your shell by using the :! command.
There are at least three shell modes built in (there are probably more).
shell mode (M-x shell) - gives an interface to your system shell, can handle everything except programs like top, you can move around past commands which is a dream.
ansi-term - an actual terminal, better for top et al, can switch between terminal mode and emacs buffer mode
eshell - shell implemented in Elisp. have never used it, but i'm sure it's awesome.
Dired mode is also wonderful, navigate to a folder, simple one key commands to do most of the basic shell copy/rename/move commands, with simple searching and all the emacs shortcuts.
What makes eshell awesome is mostly that it blurs the lines between bash and elisp, you sort of kind of can use them together. Unfortunately the manual does not do this feature justice as it is largely incomplete. This article is the best i've found.
You can dired into a remote directory via ssh, start a (remote) shell there and have local command editing with working command & file completion. Works wonders for remote work over high latency links.
