But are HTTP pages cached in your browser? I'd suggest that your mail cannot be casually spied upon on your computer if you do not share log-ins, and don't leave your computer without logging out or locking out access.
But the traffic containing the messages may be spied between my computer and the GMail server. If the traffic obeys to the https protocol, hence it may be spied but it will be useless for the spier. Paul
