Gmail users have been able to configure Gmail to use SSL for their email accounts since July, and then in August, SSL enforcement available as an administrative setting for Google Apps Premier Edition users.
I’m not sure when the Google Apps team did this, but as of day I see that my Google Apps Standard Edition email account also has this setting! Cool!
Whats more, there is also a domain wide setting for all apps (Gmail, Calendar, Docs, and Sites) available in my General Domain Settings.
With the settings enabled, now when I even forget to type https in the address bar for email, I get automatically redirected to https. That’s one less thing to think about.
Wow, I thought they only provided it for the Premier edition. but it’s there!
