BIS does not connect to GMail (or Yahoo) via POP or IMAP.
Both providers have specialized integration with BIS over a secure connection. In fact, BIS was integrating with GMail before GMail even had POP/IMAP connectivity.
Regarding the blackberry.net mailbox. BIS isn't polling that mailbox at all because the mailbox and messaging server is on the same network as BIS. It's immediately pushed and the messages aren't stored anywhere. They're already protected because they're on the same internal network, owned and operated by RIM. Makes no difference is there's SSL or not.
This thread has become so convoluted with misinformation and FUD that it's nearly impossible to follow at this point.
Hopefully this discussion comes to a close soon.

Yes there is NO 143 for Gmail or Yahoo...it's what RIM uses - it's internal. But since you are on the BIS NOT the BES you are not protected even though it's happening internally. The BIS users are not afforded that protection even though it's "internal." That was the point... ALL of this would be totally doable - with NO SSL, if you were protected on RIM's server...
And I agree I am sick of talking about it...
