If you're using Gmail over wifi you should be logging in with
https:gmail.com. Using https encrypts not just the login but the entire
session. You should see, in Firefox, the little yellow lock in the
lower right hand corner of the screen to validate this.

I don't know if the other webmail services offfer this feature.
