said by reelbigfish:Just a question for you all. When using a blackberry to access personal email, either mail through SMTP or Gmail through IMAP, how secure is your password? I assume it is sent unencrypted to POP, but what about IMAP to GMail? Just thought about this the other day thinking about all that is tied to ones Google account.
first of all why is that a concern? who is sniffing your packets from your cellphone and trying to figure it out? I think it would be extremely hard for your average joe to get your information I wouldn't worry about it.
Now if you are worried about your device at rest I would say in the security settings turn on device encryption so if someone jacks your phone they can't get any info off of it.
