I'm sure you as I have many time been in airport with public wlan access and by error had some kind of sniffer running ?
well I has Cain open because of a general scan I was making related to a test, and I picked up a Pop3 account and password, I did try to find the guy to tell him but did not see anybody with a laptop, so what now do I email him as asking him to update the password or do I just ignore it and let he carry on doing this to him self and his firm.
ObHighHorse: you really should know better than to even ask. ;)
I guess the time of baggy-pantsing is long past... when people who didn't lock their terminals would find that somehow they had sent a message to everyone proclaiming that they had baggy pants. A gently mocking reminder to lock the terminal.
I'm pretty sure that it would not be taken well if you were to mail them a note to say that their password was exposed. It would cause even more distress if you log in to their email as them and send them a note to not use such a silly webmail system... even if you did wait for them to go offline and then use their IP/ethernet address.
My suggestion: check tcpdump to be sure you're not leaking unencrypted stuff, and then don't worry about it unless you're getting paid to worry about it.
