'Fraid I can't help with the widget, but I too would recommend throwing away the default Android mail ap and replacing it with K9. It's a free ap which supports multiple mail accounts - including Gmail if you insist - and it has a "unified inbox" which displays all new mail from all accounts in a single list. I've set up my email accounts only to check for new mail on demand and, using the unified inbox, I can check all accounts in a single operation.
