If you don’t know well now you will because Google announced a few days ago that now the default access to your gmail will be more secured, the address will start with HTTPS continue with the gmail address.
This is what Google wrote on their blog:
HTTPS encryption keeps your mail secure as it travels between your web browser and Gmail servers, so someone sharing your favorite coffee shop’s public wifi can’t maliciously read it. Banks and credit card companies use this same protocol to keep your online accounts safe. To protect your Gmail account, we’ve turned on the option to “always use HTTPS” for everyone. This added layer of security can make Gmail slower, so if you don’t use unencrypted wireless connections, you can choose to disable this option in your account Settings. Even if you change this setting, Gmail will always encrypt the login page to protect your password. Learn more

Adding the secure socket layer helped, but the source code for the gmail hack was just made public. Hopefully they’ve already patched that flaw as well.
