Hi,
is there a way to obtain gmail's cookie value. Particularly I would like to know logged users email.

A:
No. Cookies are only accessible from their own domain. For obvious security reasons.

But what if I really really really want to read someone else's email?

Find out where they live, break in, and hope they left their computer logged in to their mail provider.

A:
No, you cannot read gmail's cookies. Cookies are restricted by domain.
That having been said, you can use OpenID to allow a user to log into gmail and get their email address after.

Yes. In Firefox, you can go to Tools->Privacy->Remove Individual Cookies. From there you can browse to the Google cookie folder. My cookie name "GAUSR" had my email address in it.
