Companies do not use SSL by default because it causes a lot of problems for people. Sometimes corp environments do not have the ports open except for 80. If I was designing the system I would also NOT have SSL on by default. Every other online mail system also does not have SSL on by default. If u look, hotmail only has SSL when you send your password on the login screen. So again, why is GMAIL picked on. If you are concerned about Privacy, stay off the Internet!

I think most people are really missing the point. It's not about what Google, or Facebook, or MySpace, etc, are doing with your information as they receive it, or about your boss intercepting an e-mail of you talking dirty to his wife, it's about the potential of what could be done with all this stored information in the future. As human beings, we have a funny way of waiting until the levee actually breaks and then realizing it's too late to do anything about it.

@Dimitriox Well of course, they CAN see one particular data, if they really want, but I really really doubt that they'd do it. One, I'm sure that they have strict rules, who can access what kind of data inside they workers. Two, it simply not worth it. They benefit from aggregated data, not from individual. So I'm not sure they would keep source data after they went to the datawarehouses.

@Dimitriox About google storing my information, my opinion is, that I doubt they store so much raw data. So they don't see that "xyuser" searched "privacy" on 20th April 2009... but they see that privacy has been searched by 98765432 people in 2009.
If my english knowledge is correct, than it is called aggregation.

This is such a load of shit. If you want gmail to default to SSL then just set it up int he settings. ALL email is sent insecurely! If your browser crashes and you move computers you will still have your autosaved draft. That's the Whole fucking point you idiot. If you are so worried about your "network admin" looking at your emails, then set it to be ssl by default. You are fucking idiot and spreading bullshit propaganda.
