If you're using SSH, no they can't. If you're using telnet or ftp, well,
all the better. Protecting those generates a false sense of security
anyway.
Most people pop their email in the clear among many other unencrypted
protocols. The average user obviously doesn't use ssh.

How does one /not/ "pop their email in the clear"?

Tunnel it via SSH port-forwarding
