If you have ssh, why would you need to further encrypt the connection with
ssl?

  ssh remote-server /usr/sbin/imapd

Authentication is handled by ssh. imapd will identify you as a local use,
and require no further authentication.

(works at least for wu-imapd, and supported at least by pine and mutt)

You can of-course port-forward port 143 of remote-server to some local
port, and this will work ith any mailer and any imapd.
