If you have POP or IMAP, your client should be able to send STLS or STARTTLS and avoid clear text before login.
Lots of phones now seem to run ssh clients, which is handy and doesn't depend on the rubbish wifi at airports and so on (depends on the rubbish 3G coverage instead).
Over on planet.alug.org.uk, Andrew Savory recently described corkscrew for getting ssh out over https when you're limited to web access.
Hope that helps,
And I hadn't heard of corkscrew either - I'll play with it.
