Gmail works with SSL-webfrontends. 

In TBB by default "HTTPS-everywhere" plugin redirect your HTTP to HTTPS
for Gmail profile. Intercepting SSL (HTTPS) is not so easy if you will 
be carefull with browser messages.

Another mail and webservice providers may (or not) provide https-login
and theyr https-profiles may (or not) be missing in https-everywhere.
