Earlier back in 2008, Gmail gave the option to its users to Always Use Https as the mail travels between the browser and server and it was up to the user to decide if he wants to use Https or not, but now it has made Https default for everyone. Https is used by Banks and Credit Card companies to prevent unauthorized access.
Https increases the level of security by encrypting the information, but makes the mail transfer a little slower. If you are already using Https, then there will be no change but if you don’t want it on for performance reasons, you can turn it off in the Gmail settings.
The use of Https will help those using unencrypted wireless connections and are recommended not to disable this setting.
