I currently have the possibility to read my mail by ssh (except that ssh listens on port 443[*] instead of 80), but not every one has this possibility. Also, using ssh from a machine that belongs to someone else (in particular if this is a MS windows based machine), e.g. at a conference, may have security risks. Fortunately, thanks to free wifi connections, this is less often needed than before.
