::Notice that there are <u>unencrypted</u> options available to connect to your SMTP/IMAP servers but those are rarely used these days - the potential for abuse is too great. On a free wifi network, the operator would be able to not only read your email, but also obtain your password without any password/encryption cracking tools. In fact, even on a private wired network, it is not uncommon for an employer to use a packet sniffer utility to monitor all the traffic going over their network (Packet Sniffing applications were actually found to be legally acceptable practices if used by the management of organizations).
