https is Default Protocol for Accessing Gmail
Google has announced that https would be the default protocol for accessing Gmail account. Earlier the default protocol for accessing Gmail is http and users can change it to https via settings tab. Now with rollout https will become the default protocol for accessing Gmail accounts and Gmail users can switch it to http to get better performance. Although Google will use https for Gmail login pages and encrypt Gmail user Name and passwords.
http would be a good option if you are using Gmail from a trusted network or from corporate Firewall. If you are using Gmail from Home or a Common computer than its always suggested that use https instead of http.
