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.
