Biggest risk is email imo where it is far too easy to have unencrypted settings
What do you mean? Your email server isn't connected to public WiFi. As long as your using https to access the the web interface your fine.
Even if your using an email client like Thunderbird you emails are most likely encrypted as that's the default
Pop/imap is not https
For for a web interface.
Anyway both of those are encrypted by default
They should be… but are they … it is entirely too easy to setup unencrypted email just to get it working. Crazy…
Can you name one email provider who doesn't do that by default?
It is the client and yes, most of them.
How so?
Uh
SSL is turned off by default
