Email access (including sending) shouldn't be an issue if your email
provider has support for SSL/TLS (like free Google Mail). If it
doesn't, then you should seriously consider changing email providers.

p.s. Google Mail also has a good Web interface that can be accessed
over HTTPS, a good WAP interface for cell phones, and a downloadable
J2ME client for cell phones that's nearly as capable as the Web
interface. Recommended.
