I'm glad you found it helpful. Just one thing to bear in mind with using HTTPS, though - it secures the data as it travels from your computer (or Kindle, mobile phone, whatever) to Google's server. If someone can get at the data on your computer (most likely by getting a trojan or virus onto it), HTTPS won't help. It's a good thing to have enabled, but it won't prevent every possible attack.
