Well, it should use SSL using https://

If I'm not wrong, it uses SSL for *login* by default and http:// for
the session. The only problem is that your session could be captured
and also the emails that you are reading, that would let an attacker
to get into your account.

The best way of doing things would be using SSL the whole time.
