  Free (as in beer) SSH clients are available for pretty much every major
platform (and many minor ones) at this point.  OpenSSH works for Linux,
Unix, and MacOS X.  For Windows, check out "Putty".

  I am not saying POP-over-SSL is not worth investigating, but it does
require explicit support in the client.  POP-over-SSH works with pretty much
anything.  "Do one thing, and do it well."

  Good luck,
