Oh, and a minor note:  GMail (Google's email service) supports HTTPS*.

* Better than Yahoo, at least -- you log in, it drops you into an HTTP URL.
Change that HTTP URL to https and it works; more importantly, if you log
out once you've done this, when you log back in it'll drop you into an
HTTPS URL.  This is nice.  Less nice is the fact that if you close your
browser, next time you log in it'll drop you into http again; I've got a
feature request in asking for them to allow "always keep me in SSL" as an
option.
