Go to www.openssl.org and look for a program called stunnel or
ssltunnel. That allows you to build a SSL connection between an
SSL-enabled client and a non-SSL server.
An alternative is to run ssh with port redirection (e.g. redirect
local port 110 to port 110 of the server). Then make localhost your
POP3 server and ssh will automatically transfer data between your
machine and the remote server with encryption. Of course, this only
works if you have ssh and a login on the remote server.
