Using https://mail.google.com stays with https

Hi,
I notices recently that gmail after you logon the header in the
address bar is http not https?
is that normal?


Yes... if you log in through the regular www.gmail.com address, it will
just use ssl for the authentication procedure. Use
https://mail.google.com and this way it won't go back to http.

PS - Yahoo does the same and so did hotmail when I last checked.
