use 'https' for gmail.
if no vpn, but use https for gmail - wouldn't the wireless signal for a
public connection still be in the clear transmitting your username and
password?
thank you very much everyone for the replies

VPN is of course the answer, if you really MUST perform 'sensitive'
tasks from unsecured networks. But personally, I can hold off doing my
online banking until I get home. Normal websurfing and gmail I just
don't worry about. Though I _do_ always use 'https' for gmail.
