I know that Gmail might put some security measures in place to prevent this, but I really need to put Gmail inside an element.
The two following methods don't work:
<object type='text/html' data='http://mail.google.com/'></object>
<iframe src='http://mail.google.com/' frameborder=0 style='width:322px; height:480px;'></iframe>
Are there any other ways?
/cloudHQ Apps / Gmail Email Templates / cloudHQ Apps / HTML Editor for Gmail / Can I embed my iframe into an email? Unfortunately, iframes aren't currently supported by most email providers and iframes typically don't work in email. This is because email doesn't function the same as a web page.
You can solve using Google CSE (Custom Searche Engine), which can be easily inserted into an iframe. You can create your own search engine, that search selected sites or also in entire Google's database. The results can be styled as you prefer, also similar to Google style. Google CSE works with web and images search.
You cannot. GMail, like most of Google's other web services, sets the HTTP header:
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
which disallows their site from being framed by any site other than GMail itself.
You would be better off using Google API. http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/mail/
Although not a solution to your question I believe this is an appropriate alternative.
