Login for email seems to be through normal http. Messages will be traveling over plaintext as well. As long as the access point for wireless isn't encrypted, then promiscuous will definitely work and be a much better angle. Best spots for that is hotspots or places that allow unencrypted wifi access, but you have to pay to 'use' it. You also have to be within the capture distance of whomever you're trying to sniff. So hidden extended antennae in backpack might be a good idea.
