I used to have to use SSH to access my POP server, and SSL should
work fairly similarly. What I had done was get a good telnet client
like TeraTerm Pro with the appropriate SSL pack. Then you log into
the mail server with the SSL client. Set up port forwarding for your
POP port and your SMTP port. Set TB to use the localhost equivalents
and you should be in business. If you don't understand what the heck
I'm talking about (I'm not sure I do), check with your networking
guy. He should be able to decipher what I'm saying. Otherwise mail me
off list and hopefully I can help you set this up a little more
clearly.
The reason he wants you to use SSL and not PGP is because he wants to
protect against unauthorized access (read hacking) to his servers.
SSL makes the connection secure, not the messages.
For more info on SSL, a quick search on the net will get you lots of
information, but this one seemed pretty good.

I should probably engage that largish, grey organ lurking inside of my
skull a bit more often. I think it's called a brain.
