I dispute answer 5 where she says that email password transmissions are encrypted.  They are *not* always encrypted, in fact they are sent in plain text and can be captured as plain text using a network sniffer.

Show me somebody using a wireless hotspot and Outlook Express or Outlook with pop3/smtp, give me a network sniffer and I'll give you their email password.
