怎么GMail?就用“https”!

这些年来,我一向都用yahoomail,直到今年头,真的受够了,那spam真的太多了,每每看到这些垃圾邮件,我还真想喊“救命”,yahoomail究竟在干什么?那spam filter也未免太烂了吧?!

于是,转到GMail。另一个原因就是Google Apps,利用Google查我的办公电邮,也要GMail顺道先帮我清理好垃圾电邮。我的办公电邮,天天都有至少30则垃圾电邮,从伟哥到黄片到冒牌手表到不懂什么,之前用Thunderbird,Thunderbird的能力也实在有限。总之,现在,如果我没有GMail,我真的……会疯掉。

无端今天到实习学校去,发现access denied,network blocked access to GMail,简单说,就是,在工作,不能查阅GMail。也就只有GMail得了这等“待遇”,yahoomail,msn,hotmail都没问题!

真荒谬。我只好用手机的GPRS查阅GMail 电邮和用手机发电邮,再慢慢想办法。总有办法的。

天无绝人之路,终于让我找到了( http://internetducttape.com/2006/10/04/how-to-access-gmail-when-its-blocked-at-work-or-school/ )。只要把原是“http://mail.google.com”的“http”修一修,后面加个“s”,成“https://mail.google.com”,就能了!http和https的主要差别就是,public和secure。

There are some primary differences between http and https, however, beginning with the default port, which is 80 for http and 443 for https. Https works by transmitting normal http interactions through an encrypted system, so that in theory, the information cannot be accessed by any party other than the client and end server. There are two common types of encryption layers: Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), both of which encode the data records being exchanged.

虽然我还是不明白为什么Gmail会得“access denied”的“待遇”,但是,我很乐意沿用https来查阅我的GMail,这么一来,既能在学校查阅GMail,又能保障我自身的隐私、安全。学校的network,毕竟是shared,是public的。
