If you have a network-connected wired machine, tunnel the mail over SSH to that machine, then onto the network. You can do the same with web, ftp, gopher, etc. traffic by using a proxy (squid, for example). Or use IPSec in tunnel mode to give yourself a IP address through your wired machine. Of course, I have my wired machine routinely download mail from my ISPs and workplace and filter it server side and finally read it by tunneling IMAP over SSH, so I'm just a geek with no real life... I really need to install a cert on that machine and use TLS/IMAP ;-) Someday, I hope to be able to answer that question by saying: Opportunistic encryption rules! All hail DNSSec and IPv6!
