I also would like to know that ! What protocol is used ? https ?
For web access to gmail I have the option in gmail to force https. Does it
impact the way the android gmail application communicates ?

Also, while testing a proxy solution to connect to the web from my PC via my
phone (3G connection), I was surprised that firefox (3.5 beta) complained
about gmail.com https certificate ! Looks like it does not connect directly
to the regular site...
I will check it better to know where this certificate is from and why it is
ok for android browser but not firefox....

(was on french SFR 3G network)
