If you are like me, and not very impressed with the government wanting ISP's to keep copies of all your emails or if you feel like you want to make your email a little more secure heres some advice.
I have setup a lot of my domains where I have email accounts on offshore servers. This includes DNS, then what I did with all those email accounts, is setup forwarders to my gmail account.
Gmail has this nifty little setting under accounts, where you can change your "reply to" email address. So you can set it not to reply as your gmail email address, but rather as any other one you have access to. IE, your emails will not look like they have come from [email protected], but rather [email protected]. Since I have a lot of email address`s, and a lot domains, I find having this one global inbox very useful.
The problem with the default email login for gmail is that its normal http, and not https, which means when I login, my username and password are sent plain text over the internet, and anything I type when I am composing my email is also sent out plain text. This is not good at all if you are paranoid and need the security!
After a little googling, I came across this https secure gmail login page:
https://gmail.google.com/ - Secure GMAIL https login
At the very least, I would recommend to everyone here rather use that login that the generic one on the front page.
With Gmail setup like this, I am able to securly access my Gmail and all my other mail from anywhere in the world where I have an internet connection.
