Sometimes Gmail may be loading painfully slow for you, or defaults to the slower HTML mode for users. If you do not want Gmail to make the decision on which type of UI it should load for you, here is a list of Gmail modes you can use with Gmail, thanks to Alex Chitu from Google Operating System.

Safe Mode – Disable all the Labs features. http://mail.google.com/mail/?labs=0

Secure Mode – Encrypts to and fro traffic from Gmail. https://mail.google.com/

Older Version – Don’t like the newer heavier version, switch back to old UI. http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=1

Basic Mode – The plain old HTML mode. http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=html

Mobile Mode – Mobile interface for Gmail. http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=mobile or http://m.gmail.com
