The https keep peeps from "snooping" while you are looking at your mail...
Actually Yahoo has changed that - I just checked - they now also have SSL for sign in...

You can call me ignorant for this.. But I fail to see the point of getting worked up over this, yes it is disappointing. (And believe me I am)
If security is implemented, it should be implemented end to end. SSL is a good start but without the rest really what's the point.
And until I can sniff packets off the CDMA network or a Wi-Fi network and see my BIS information being sent in clear text I will not sweat over this.
(I would also like to keep mind I control what Wi-Fi networks my BlackBerry connects)
