Sure you can do this through an SSL tunnel. Many years ago, I set up small company with a PC running UW IMAP, which includes a POP3 server too, and stunnel to do SSL as the server end. Most users were using Outlook Express, and it just took clicking the SSL box and giving the pop3s port, 995/tcp, and it all went through SSL. It all worked fine. I should note that the idea that (SSL == better security) is not necessarily true. Sure, now a man-in-the-middle cannot sniff user passwords and the mail itself, but nor can an IDS in the middle watch for people attacking your buggy (like UW IMAP is) mail daemon. -- Crist J.
