Gmail has a security feature which most free online email services still lack. Gmail有一項安全功能，大多數免費的在線電子郵件服務仍然缺乏。 It is the ability to use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) or more simply a Secure Connection.它是能夠使用SSL （安全套接字層）或更多的只是一個安全連接。

Secure connection makes sure that the data and information shared between Google servers and your web browser remains encrypted.安全方面可以確保數據和信息共享之間的谷歌服務器和您的網頁瀏覽器依然加密。 It proves to be beneficial when using Gmail in public sector area eg public WiFi hotspots or college/university labs.它被證明是有益的使用Gmail時，在公共部門領域如公共WiFi熱點或學院/大學實驗室。

Previously the only way to initiate a Secure connection between Gmail and your web browser was to manually type the (https://) protocol instead of (http://) to access Gmail but as it is not feasible for the unaware masses, Gmail has now introduced a new setting called Browser Connection.以前的唯一途徑，開展安全之間的聯繫Gmail和您的網頁瀏覽器是手動鍵入（網址為： https ： / / ）協議而不是（ http:// ）訪問Gmail ，但因為它是不可行的不了解群眾的Gmail現在已經推出了新的要求設置瀏覽器連接。

Browser Connection lets users choose whether or not to force a secure connection.瀏覽器連接可以讓用戶選擇是否以武力安全連接。 This way they won’t have to type in the (https://) protocol again and again while accessing Gmail.這樣，他們將不必輸入（網址為： https ： / / ）協議，一次又一次地在訪問Gmail了。

One point to note is that though forcing a secure connection makes your data safe, but it slows down the speed and latency of your connection as it has to always encrpt/decrypt data at both ends while transfering.有一點需要注意的是，雖然迫使安全連接讓您的數據安全，但它減慢了速度和潛伏期您的連接因為它始終encrpt /解密數據兩端同時轉讓。 This feature is mostly recommended for users accessing Internet through a public WiFi.此功能主要是建議用戶訪問互聯網上通過一個公共的WiFi 。

Now with all those security features in hand, who thinks Gmail is the most safe and secure email service on Internet?現在，所有這些安全功能在手，誰認為Gmail是最安全可靠的電子郵件服務，互聯網上？
