Doesn't Gmail support SSL? My email provider provides support for SSL

If that's the case then it would be extremely difficult (you will need
to "fake" the server's host keys). Furthermore, the ethics of such a
practice is questionable. For which case I would side on blocking
outside emails altogether rather than get into a situation where you
have to justify sniffing someone's personal bank transactions, e.g.

gmail is only ssl on sign in if you go through webmail. After that it's
all in the clear. POP and IMAP are running securely however (which is
why I check my stuff via imap)
If you simply change the URL to https on gmail, you are using SSL.
The default is not to use it, so, you gotta type it yourself.
https://mail.google.com/mail
Has it always been that way? I could have sworn that only the login was
SSL and everything else was in the clear (granted, I don't think I ever
tried to change it to https). Live & Learn
