fetchmail, pop, imap, and privacy

[Noah John Gellner]

I use fetchmail and cron to pull messages from my university and ISP
mail servers. I started running ettercap to check out my system and
discovered that my usernames and password are being sent as plain text!
Is there a better way to pull down mail?

cheers,
Noah
