function getgmail() {      $.get("https://username:password@mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom", function(data) {         var mailcount = data.getelementsbytagname("fullcount")[0].textcontent;         document.getelementbyid('mail').innerhtml = mailcount;     );  }

you should check out $.get() api documentation.
