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

[Tim Tuples]

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.

You may also want to look at Stunnel (http://www.stunnel.org) which
provides SSL support for non-SSL capable clients.
