Web client for reading POP3 email

[tinyjo]

So, following up from my other post, I've found an actually not half bad pop3 web client. Sadly the nicest looking one (My Email) doesn't work for me (I have a non-standard username/email addy. combo) but the PDA version of Mail2Web works nicely for me. No spam filter but the interface is so clean I can live without.

It's actually slightly naughty as using the PDA version also avoids ads, but that's not my primary motivation - given the way I use my browser at work, screen real-estate matters and the tab bar on the main site was just too big.

I use mail2web occasionally, because my perception is that it's a relatively safe service (been around as long as I can remember, back before the internet was completely full of assholes). But how do you feel about the safety side? (ie, sending your login details through a third party service)?

It is a risk, true, but based on their history I figure they're not just a scam company in which case, I feel fairly ok about relying on their T&Cs

It's not ideal and what I'd really like would be to get the source code and do something similar on my own server, but I haven't found that yet!`

I have one on my own server (very basic and bare-bones - it's just for viewing what's on the POP server while you're on the road - you can reply or delete or leave it there for downloading once you get home). It's only http not https, so I don't know whether that's more or less safe on the face of things. (The transmission protocols themselves are not my strongest point, stupidly enough for a sysadmin). That said, there are more advanced ones here.
