    Secure web connections -- Gmail, Docs, Calendar, etc

    I would like the option to have a secure web connection (https) rather than the regular http web connection at all times. I am often using unsecure wireless networks, which is fine for general browsing, but I don't want people being able to peek at my mail, calendar or documents.

    I can switch the URL from http to https manually and all of Google's functions seem to work fine, but sometimes it changes back to http because of some default links.

    What do people think? Do you want/need a https connection?

    I agree. However, I think Google Accounts does in fact use https encryption during the login process. After login, you're redirected to a http version.
