Re: Access Gmail via a secure connection
I'm not saying this is right, or the way it should be, just probably why.
Re: Access Gmail via a secure connection
As a long time admin (the company's mail belongs to the company, not to you), your mail isn't that interesting unless you are a spy or doing insider trading for a living. If you really want secure email use PGP not the web. You're kidding, right? A) Yes, my email@work belongs to the company, but my Gmail belongs to me B) PGP is a great idea which is a PITA to execute. You can only get secure mail from people who also have PGP. Good luck with that. Also, good luck getting it to work with webmail. C) Yes I realize my email is unsecure from point A (sender) to B (his ISP) to C (my ISP... and maybe several stops in-between) but what I am more concerned about is "D" which is from my laptop to GMail. Right now I am on an open WiFi connection in a public spot. Great convenience, right? But I don't want anyone sniffing my email or passwords or anything else, regardless of how uninteresting it may be. There are a lot of reasons why secure GMail is a good idea and PGP isn't the right answer. |
