Hi, I have heard that the speakout proxy is on http only,
so is it safe at all to do online banking and such?
I assume that even exchange server email messages and other apps login info/passwords are not encrypted neither?

https is supported and why people can still use skype(not necessary voice/video but chat).

You can use HTTPS. However, I believe HTTPS has to be through port 80, and not the default port 443. Most secure sites should still work through HTTPS port 80.
I recommend you use HTTPS with Speakout anytime you have the option. Because not only your Web contents secure, Roger's proxy cannot interfere with the traffic. It cannot re-compress pictures when through HTTPS, for example. And to answer your question, you can bank as securely though Speakout as anyother internet provider, as long as you are using HTTPS.
I would not waste my time with Exchange and Speakout, just get a GMail account, and let GMail deal with Exchange instead. With GMail, a great feature is that you can send and receive exchange email without anyone ever knowing you are using a GMail account.

not true. the proxy port is 80. it is the proxy that open the other side 443 port for you. That is what skype use to get pass the usually problematic IM limitation for most proxy based environment.
