Google Desktop uses SSL for indexing Gmail:

If you’ve enabled Gmail indexing via Google Desktop, note that it uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to connect to Gmail and download your messages to the Google Desktop index on your computer. This SSL provides the same level of security as your browser when visiting secure sites.Google Desktop stores an encrypted version of your Gmail username and password on your computer/notebook/laptop, to access your Gmail Account.
