Gmail accounts

Gmail accounts, on the other hand, use a secure connection during log-in and all the way until you log out. You can confirm this along the way by looking at the address bar and observing the URL starting with https , where the s denotes a secure connection. And, unlike Yahoo or Hotmail, Gmail avoids revealing your IP address to email recipients. However, it is not recommend that you rely entirely on Google for the confidentiality of your sensitive email communication. Google scans and emails like this, you should ensure that your anti-virus software is up to date and pay close attention to any warnings displayed by your browser or email program.
