The problem: I want to securely access my email via IMAP using a decent mail client. But my ISP does not offer secure IMAP, though it does offer secure webmail (squirrelmail).
Proposed solution: On my home server, run an IMAP proxy which accepts secure IMAP connections, and forwards them on to the insecure IMAP at the ISP. Anyone know of such a beast? Or an alternative solution? I tried, as an experiment, to use thunderburd over a ssh -X -C connection, but it was unuseably slow. Even xeyes is very laggy. Latency must be too high. It's very useable at home, but not from elsewhere. Cheers, Carl.
