This feed works but it requires you to be logged in to prevent everyone from 
being able to see everyone else's inbox. Since the login credentials are not 
readily available to Google Reader it is unable to access the feed.

To fix this problem we'd need to request login credentials for the feed in a 
way that Google Reader can handle. This probably means Basic/Digest 
Authentication or generating a random, difficult to guess URL for the feed that 
can be regenerated by the user and remove the auth requirement.
