I was just trying out a variation of your example, and got an error at 
line 305 of gmailer.rb.

   q = "search=cat&cat=" + box + "&view=tl&start=" + pos.to_s

'box', it seems, might be nil.  So I added a call to to_s


  q = "search=cat&cat=" + box.to_s + "&view=tl&start=" + pos.to_s



Also, two suggestions for a very cool library (and thanks for writing it):

Remove the camelCase names and break code early before people start 
building dependencies.  (I'm not convinced that simply aliasing these 
names is a good solution.)

Replace the cryptic parameters ( e.g. :mid, :tid, :orig_df ) with 
something readable.  Even :subj should be :subject.

Thanks again for your efforts!


James
