> But how would you tunnel a POP3 request through SSH? you cannot tunnel a pop3 request *through* ssh, just can tunnel is *alongside* ssh. ssh has a feature called port-forwarding, and perhaps this is meant? you can 'forward' local port 110 to server port 110, and fetch your mail, with thebat, at localhost:110. the pop3 traffic is then encrypted by the local ssh-client, sent to the server, decrypted by sshd, and passed to port 110 at the server. i use a package called teraterm pro for my ssh-needs, i can provide a pointer to it if you ask me (i have to look it up, i REALLY don't remember where i got it). this solution is not dependant on any mailclient, it is a completely stand-alone solution and therefore viable for almost anyone, better imho than unencrypted POP3. i get my mail this way since my account has been broken into 'cause someone sniffed the password from the network. the only backdraw is that you have to have an open shell to the server all the time. since i use it regularly, it is not a problem for me. ymmv.
