Of course, to encrypt your Gmail sessions, all you have to do is preface Gmail’s URL with “https†rather than “httpâ€, or turn on “always use https†from the “Browser Connection†settings of your Gmail account.
I've heard that one should always do the second, as doing the first -- sure, it protects your own connection, but Gmail won't know that the friendly http:// request that looks like it's coming from you is in fact from that guy packet sniffing your connection in Starbucks and engaging in a little man-in-the-middle exploitation.
When specifying that Gmail must always use https://, Gmail will then reject attempted exploits of that nature.
