Q: How secure is sending an email from GMail?

When you send an email from GMail to someone what measures do they have in place to make sure that my email is not read by man in the middle attacks, or other servers that the email is routed through. If spam filters can read whats in the message then surely email is super dodge and we really sho...

why was that moved from su to webapps? because it contains 'gmail'?

Gmail is a webapp, yes

DMA57361

@IvoFlipse not always - I use it exclusively via Outlook & POP

morning, btw

Ivo Flipse

that might be, but that's just utilizing imap to connect to their servers

Gmail remains a web app

and good morning to you too

though I won't be staying long

as I was reading Peopleware, somewhere away from my computer :P

DMA57361

f/e

@IvoFlipse doesn't this make it a web service rather than an application?

Ivo Flipse

well I could have name the site web.stackexchange, but web apps sounded better :P

DMA57361

indeed, but if we were to take the "from GMail" off the end of the question, doesn't it become a fairly standard computing security question?

Ivo Flipse

10:52

my reasoning was that there isn't much to ask about the functionality of a static html page anyway

perhaps @DMA57361, but it got answered and it's findable through google, so I'm not really worried that it's on WA now :P

DMA57361

@IvoFlipse oh quite, I'm not trying to get it migrated back, just thinking aloud :)

Ivo Flipse

no problem, you are correct that the context can be abused to decide where a question fit's best

Q: gmail download by POP3 won't download all emails. How to reset all emails to not downloaded so that ALL will download?

I want to download emails from gmail using POP3 with Outlook Express. It downloads about 350 or so emails but doesn't download the remainder - there are over 2000 emails. The emails downloaded are not recent. I've tried disabling and re-enabling POP options in the settings in gmail itself but ...

email gmail pop3 outlook-express

that fits your criteria as well and thus a lot of [gmail] questions should be moved, shouldnt they?

Hi guys! First time on chat for me. I'm getting a netbook and I was wondering could someone suggest me a cool hostname for it? I couldn't find any lists on the Internet and most searches in that area came up as blanks. I hope I'm in the right place for this type of discussion...

Ivo Flipse

hi @AndrejaKo

a hostname?

Sathya

@AndrejaKo hi there

AndrejaKo

@Ivo Flipse Hi! Yes, a hostname. It will be in a home network, so it could be pretty much anything.

Sathya

@AndrejaKo my hostnames are ripoff of popular gaming lore

Ivo Flipse

16:55

I named my iPad iLias and my phone Odysseus :P

Sathya

for example one of my home laptop's named as Tristram :p

Ivo Flipse

didn't know what to name my computer though

AndrejaKo

@IvoFlipse That's my problem too. I just can't pick a good name. @Sathya I'll consider some interesting names form gaming lore.
