Web Worker Daily has posted instructions for forcing Gmail to use SSL. You need this. It’s easy to do, and it’s crazy not to.
Currently, your Gmail flies across the internet like a postcard. Everyone can read it. Follow those instructions to get something sane, just like you put most of your snail mail in envelopes. Go now. Do it.
P.S. Go on. Hurry up.
