Generally I have never had a problem getting ssh out on public wifi,
Unfortunately I have. The last time I tried (as recently as two weeks ago) at Schipol, I couldn't get past the webproxy at all. And in the hotel in Brussels I was similarly stuck.
But anyway, for personal mail, the SSL protected webmail my provider offers gives me all I need when away from my home machine. If I need to handle anything urgent, I can read and send from my browser. The rest I can deal with when I get home. Office mail is handled by a VPN to the corporate system (which is a different kettle of microsoft fish entirely)
