Re: Poll: What is most secure Web-based email?
The only secure Web based email I have used is gmail. Yahoo and Hotmail are not, except for login. Best is an ISP that supports secure SSL/TLS email for POP and IMAP, along with a secure webmail site (mine does). Or enable the secure POP interface for gmail if you need it.
Note on gmail: In FF I get redirected to an http site after https login, and need to access the page again with https from the address bar for secure messages. PITA. Opera does it correctly. IE appears to also. |

Opera does it correctly. IE appears to also. I figured out a fix for this. Just change your Gmail bookmark to include the 's' for secure, like: »https://gmail.google.com/gmail . If you do that, you'll be directed to the secure inbox right after login. |
