Yes, that's a good point that I didn't think about - my 4smartphone connection is SSL-encrypted.

100% agreed - Exchange ActiveSync overall feels much faster than doing a Send/Receive on a POP3 email account. And it's also much more efficient with bandwidth - there's a LOT of KB bloat when checking email over POP/IMAP. That can be painful if you're paying by the KB.
