The secure link is https://mail.google.com. Of course the only difference is the 's' after 'http'. If you're already logged in, adding in this 's' at the top and pressing enter will do the trick also.

All my data is stored on a desktop PC with a shared drive that I connect to while at home. Makes backups easy at home adn means there's nothing to gain, data wise, from my laptop. If I need files while away, I copy only those over before leaving. My question is, what do you think of software like <a href="http://www.roboform.com/" rel="nofollow">Roboform</a> which can sore passwords but also has the ability to create random secure passwords on the fly. Its password database is encrypted and the program and database can be installed on a USB flashdrive, meaning the database is physcally with you rather than on your PC. Seems that would be a good, easy way for regular folks to secure their password database while making it easy to access, use a different random password at every site rather than one for all and consistantly use strong passwords. All good things that enhance password security. A comment and a question:
