When you click the inbox button or link or whatever in messenger it just opens the default mail client that is set in windows. This is set in the internet properties at the program tab (run command:control inetcpl.cpl @0,5). gmail isn't an option here but a reg hack will add it.
Once the reg hack is done open internet properties and at the program tab change the email combo box to the new gmail item and your done.
Here is the reg hack... copy it into notepad and save it as a .reg file. Then run it and you're done!
