The reason Google or Microsoft or Yahoo won't implement it is that only on the order of a few thousand people want it. Most people would much rather be able to search their email from any device, which requires the server to have an unencrypted copy.

These companies don't bother with products that have such a niche market. There are plenty of smaller companies that do though, so I don't see anything to complain about.

If only a "few thousand" people want security, then they can't be losing a significant number of customers.
