Nope. Unless the ISP's mail server supports some form of encryption,
there's nothing you can do. 
On the other hand, your desktop machine is probably only about two
hops from your mail server, and those are inside the ISP's data
center, so there isn't much chance for somebody to sniff your
credentials.
