Side effects of securing your inbox.

1. GMail may become slightly slower.But if your emails are safe i say its acceptable.
2. Gmail Notifier users must download a patch for GMail Notifier (Gmail Notifier is a downloadable application that alerts you whenever you have new Gmail messages) to work with this setting. To install the patch follow these steps:

1. Download the patch (.zip).
2. Open the folder.
3. Double-click the notifier_https.reg file.
4. Click yes when you’re asked to confirm if you want to add the information to the registry.
5. Restart the Notifier.

3. You may see errors in the Gmail for mobile application from enabling this setting. The specific errors vary by device, but in general you’ll see ‘unexpected error’ or have the app suddenly quit on you.If you have the latest version of the app (1.5) (If you need to find the version number of the application that’s installed on your mobile phone, please select Menu > More > Help. The version number and platform will be displayed.), you can work around these errors by also enabling the app’s own ‘Always use secure network connections (slower performance):’ setting from your device and then signing out:

1. Select Menu >Go to Settings.
2. Check the Always use secure network connections (slower performance): option.
3. Make sure the ‘Always keep me signed in’ option is NOT checked (in order for you to sign out).
4. Save your changes.
5. Select Menu >Exit Gmail.
