Just bookmarked https://mail.google.com. I am glad to know that Gmail can be encrypted for the entire session using https. Thanks for the info!

i’ve done tests at local wifi hotspots. it’s shocking how many people do sensitive network transactions at these open network nodes. i could sniff IM conversations, pick up FTP login credentials, etc. now, i’m not a malicious person and was simply doing this for testing. can you imagine if i were? snooping mail sessions was also one that came up a lot. watch what services you use when on a public wifi! People are watching – and some are not nice.

@JohnB

I’m not sure why Yahoo does not provide a secure email browsing. Perhaps they do not have the infrastructure in place at this time to support the SSL encryption for reading email vs. just logging in. There doesn’t seem to be any mention of why on their support pages. Maybe they will add the feature at a later date.

Great advice. Thanks for pointing this out. I wonder why Yahoo does not do the same thing.
