If you want to get at mails, why not [use IMAP](https://developers.google.com/gmail/oauth_overview) and avoid all of that screen scraping you're about to do? — Philipp Reichart, Aug 06 '13 at 11:14

You need to provide a user and a password. The reason why you can access your mail directly with the brower is because gmail uses cookies to allow you to bypass log in screen.

EDIT

It is much better to use POP or IMAP API to programtically access your mailbox. Here is another question on Stackoverflow and a library that could help you.
