Thanks. I never like the idea of going through the proxy--email, browsing, or chat. Unless the traffic is encrypted/secure between your mobile device and the actual host, the proxy can capture your password and every packet/conversation. It is a security/privacy concern.
This is why I don't use Opera Mini, Mail2Web, DashWire (trusting them to store all my contacts, etc.), and the alike. Read some the privacy policy, and it's enough to scare you away. Most companies mine data based on your usage patterns. How am I assured that their system cannot be compromised?
I'm taking the time to explain in case some people don't understand the implications while using these "free" services/applications.
Cheers.
