Another simple method for securing email
Authored by: bgleason on Jul 05, '05 09:44:35AM

Another way to avoid having unencrypted usernames and passwords on the airwaves is to check your e-mail via a service like mail2web. You can use the service (and I'm sure there are others like it) to check most e-mail accounts. Make sure to click "secure login." For example, I've used it for checking both Verizon and GMail.

Sure, your e-mail is still going through a third party, and you probably can't trust Verizon or Google anyway, but at least you're not broadcasting your username and password unencrypted to everyone in the cafe...
