A question:

If you use a web-mail client to access a mail server via an SSL connection,
is the entire data stream encrypted -- or only the authentication data?

If by SSL connection, you mean the browser shows https:// in the location, then this means the connection between your computer and the web-mail server is encrypted. It says nothing about what is happening behind that - there is a reasonable chance the data stream between the web-mail server and the IMAP or POP3 server is not encrypted.
