Even when I access to write an email it goes through an unencrypted connection. But Gmail actually supports SSL. But only if you connect via https in the first place.

I don't use the Mail.app anymore. I may again some time, but I don't see a need for it for me right now. I don't download mail to my hard drive. I also like not having the mail icon in my dock. I check my email when the notifier says I have a new message, and sometimes I check it out of habit. If you are someone who wants or need your mail downloaded then I could see using Mail. But, it's easy to check and keep up with through my browser. BTW, I am thinking of getting my parents to use Safari to check email. Mail.app is not "mom-proof." A browser is a little more straight-foward. (On my computer, I mainly use Shiira as my browser...not that that's relavent. :P ) I use Gmail and always check my mail through my browser.

Thanks! This might be a dumb question, but what are the reasons for NOT using Mail.app to manage a Gmail account? Thanks!
