One thing I discovered was to have a secure connection when I use Gmail so that the data transferred e.g. my passwords or session details to the Gmail servers are not being used by someone.

This usually happens when you use Gmail over an open network like on any public network, anyone can temper with your data that was shared between you PC and the Gmail data center as the network is not secure and is open to everyone. This usually results in your email accounts getting into wrong hands and can gain access to your sensitive data, maybe your bank statements or confidential login details.

To protect your account from being used by someone, ill be telling you guys on enabling secure internet connection over Gmail. This would really help those people who access internet from public places.

Now, to enable the secure internet connection feature, open your Gmail account, and go to settings. Under the General tab, scroll down and select Always use https at browser connection and then save the changes. Then you will be logged out and you can login back again to use the https protocol.

You might experience Gmail abit slow, this is because that the data you send is first encrypted and then sent to the Gmail data centre.

Also, if you trust the security of your network, you can always turn off this feature anytime. I would strongly suggest those people who have really sensitive information on their Gmail accounts to enable this feature.
