Need local SSL software for access eMailClient->SSL->POP3-Server

Unfortunately my local eMail client does NOT offer SSL connection to eMail servers.
When I want to use SSL based eMail services like the one from GoogleMail
I have a problem. With pure POP3 resp. SMTP protocol with authentification
this is not possible.

So I need a kind of SSL client on my local machine so that I can establish
a connection like:

eMailClient <-> local SSL Client <-> POP3/SMTP-(GoogleMail)Server

Does such a SSL utility exist?

Maybe there is another workaround? Maybe a service which listens on Port 110
for local incoming POP3 requests?

Stunnel (http://www.stunnel.org) provides SSL services for
non-SSL applications. Check it out and see if that is what
you wanted.

Thunderbird supports SSL for SMTP sending, for IMAP and I'm fairly sure
for POP3 as well.
