There are three things you might mean:
1) ssl-enabled POP or IMAP servers
2) ssh-based tunnelling
3) mod_ssl protecting access to web-based mail
Here's some hints:
1) You might want to build in security by finding an SSL
patch for your favorite POP or IMAP server. This sounds
like what you are really looking for, which isn't really
a mod_ssl issue and something I'm not familiar with.
There are also patches for opportunistic application of
SSL in sendmail-to-sendmail connections, which only
protects a part of the delivery path, but making any
link in the chain stronger is good.
2) If you have control of the server and your client
machine, and both are running *N*X, you can also do this
via port forwarding or fetchmail. I use the method with
the socket package sent in by Charlie Brady, which is
described in section K3 of the fetchmail-FAQ from your
favorite mirror. The funny part is that it doesn't use
fetchmail.
3) I use mod_ssl + web-based email to read my email
while I'm at work (I especially like the IMP package at
www.horde.org) via a browser, and then collect it via
MUA later. This is really sweet, especially if you work
a lot on networks you don't trust.
