Using unencrypted transfer is always a bad idea; not only with Tor. It just moves the attack-point for sniffing attacks from e.g. your cable-modem network, your ISP and the hops till the the webserver to the exit-node and the hops till the webserver. The way where password data are transferred unencrypted might be even shorter (e.g. when exit-node is nearer to the webserver) or more secure (e.g. when you are in a cable-modem network) with Tor. A much bigger problem with Gmail is, that it requires an existing account to create a new one. Hence, there exist a chain between your anonymous account and the account of a known person which can reveal your true identity. Enrico
