The attack consists in spoofing a SSID of a WiFi network to which devices try to connect (most devices actively advertise SSIDs of all networks known to them). Once a device connects to such network and tries to synchronize e-mails, a malicious server inside the spoofed network may potentially be able to access the email credentials. In case the SSL is used, a such server may try to impersonate the target email server and perform the SSL handshake, if the device is set to accept self-signed certificates.
