concerned that if someone is supplying a password to check admin email that
the password can be sniffed.

My two eurocents on this issue:

your concern is not so much a secure e-mail link as it is a way to get to
your admin e-mail without having to send the too important admin password
over an insecure line.

my solution is: create a simple user account without any special permissions
and forward all admin e-mail to that account. Then use any way you like or
trust to get the mail: you won't be sending the admin password.
