Yes *if* it's an HTTPS connection. I use Gmail (Google Mail), which does support HTTPS, although you have to do that manually. Or I use SSL/TLS with a conventional POP3/IMAP/SMTP email client (Mozilla Thunderbird).
No!
See the Security section of the Wi-Fi Wiki below.
Do you ave access to the Internet? Do you know what google is and how to use it? Why get a book?

. Just be sure that you scan your pc for vulnerabilities and norton will give you a clue if your PC is secure or not... If not try to secure it first before you go wireless.
You need to have a strong password to start with..when you see a prompt asking where you are connecting wirelessly when you scroll from the drop down menu, click AWAY so that the protection level will be raised than if you click HOME or OFFICE...
