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. -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
