Worth noting is that GMail's POP and IMAP are also encrypted. So even using a mail reader like Thunderbird would be "secure". Then you can add encryption/signing to the email client (Enigmail/PGP) to further secure your communications.

Last I checked you could choose whether or not to use an encrypted connection to the Google servers, if they're now forcing that then that's great - people should always check on their own systems though to make sure they're set up to use the encrypted connections.
I have just typed in gmail.com, and a https address comes up. (but then, I have chosen the option to always use https (doh!)).
