You'll be encrypted with SSL throughout your entire e-mail session. Okay, it's a pretty obvious tip, but fess up: Would you have thought to do it? Now, if you want outright encryption for Gmail, Gina has the scoop right here.

"As long as you are using SSL to talk to a web server, your conversation is private. It doesn't matter whether someone can watch your wireless network. They won't be able to make sense of what they are seeing, because it is encrypted." -http://techdir.rutgers.edu/wireless.html Also see: http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/tutorials/article.php/3625016 But you're right that VPN is definitely more secure. This just acts as an easy encryption method. Thanks Steve

I think all form blocks on https SSL pages are readable are readable on WIFI. This includes bank pages, passwords, everything. I think only encrypted tunnels like VPN (Virtual Private Network) are the only thing that can protect WIFI. 2 free VPNS without complex setup are iPig (iopus.com) and HotspotShield (anchorfree.com). Search terms like "WIFI Security" to learn more. Even VPNs only protect certain types of traffic. Like some scramble page content, but not addresses, so if you went to www.myillness.com people could sniff wifi to tell that. I’m pretty sure this wont protect on WIFI.
