Hi guys, of late, gmail has been loading very slowly for me. This means that, when ever I give my username and password at the login screen, after successful login, the screenshot shown below displays.
![]()

When that happens we hate to wait for infinitely long times. So, I discovered a simple hack through which you can eliminate that screen.
Notice that the address bar contains the URL of the format http://mail.google.com/mail?auth=DQAA etc.
Now, all you have to do is, change the “http://” in your browser’s address bar to “https://”, which means the URL will now look like https://mail.google.com/mail?auth=DQAA etc. Press Enter. Gmail loads faster.

To be honest, I wasn’t sure GMail was loading slowly anyway, although I thought I’d give your hack a try. Didn’t seem to make a lot of difference, sorry.

Your blog is nice. I think you should add your blog at www.blogadda.com and let more people discover your blog. It’s a great place for Indian bloggers to be in and I am sure it would do wonders for your blog.
Hmmm, seems cool.

I can’t even get gmail to load on Windows Vista or rather I can get it loaded but I can’t retrieve my mail. I have tried all different settings but but nothing works on Vista. I have a comcast account and have no problems with it.
YOU ALL ARE IDIOTS.
THE NEW VERSION OF GMAIL IS TOO DAMN SLOW. THE NEW GMAIL IS NOW PRELOADING THE EMAIL. THAT IS TAKING GMAIL TOO LONG TO LOAD. IT’S STUPID. GMAIL HAS BECOME TOO DAMN F*CKING SLOW SLOW SLOW SLOW.
GO BACK TO THE OLD GMAIL: https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=1
You are my hero! Like, Locke from Reckless Life hero!

Hey guys… incase Gmail is blocked in your workplace by WebSense… use https://www.gmail.com instead of http://www.gmail.com.
WebSense wont block it… & you can have a great time surfing through your mails…

When I add the ’s’ to the http address as suggested, it sure works for me. However, when I enter that site first of all a pop-up appears warning me of a safety certificate not being in place. I ignored that warning and continue and accessed gmail faster than ever.
However, I’ continued wondering about the safety certificate. Could I assume that I can safely ignore that warning?
I’ve now found the solution to bypass the safety certificate warning by accessing Gmail as follows:
https://mail.google.com/mail/#inbox
It works like a dream!
You’re a frickin’ genuis!
Thanks, it was driving me crazy and now fixed

Thank you! Can’t believe how well that works and that I didn’t think of a secure link. Got it bookmarked and you’re saving me like hours a day!
