It is much more important that you don't use:

  - pop with non-encrypted passwords
  - imap with non-encrypted paswords
  - ftp other than anonymous
  - password-based access to websites non-encrypted
  - pserver cvs write access
  - telnet
  - rsh
  - rlogin

(anything else that could easily be compromised.
