- harshreality 14y agoAvailable for over 4 years, default for nearly 3 years: http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/making-security-easier.html http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/making-security-easier... http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/default-https-access-for-gmail.html http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/default-https-access-f... Please save your criticism for Yahoo, which still does not use SSL for anything except the login form and account info editing. Only premium accounts get the privilege of SSL for mail. Hotmail might have been improved since then, but about a year ago SSL was disabled by default in account settings. Google wasn't the first to offer SSL encryption for webmail access, but Google is far better than the other major U.S. based email providers.
