Question about security



Till now I wasn't worried about security at all, but recently
some things happened that changed my mind, and I decided to secure my
system. I installed ssh/ssh2, and almost succeded configuring it (couldn't
they just do the 2 versions more compatible?). But the real challenge is -
"How the hell do I prevent from my fetchmail (for example) to send
my plain user/password over the network every 5 minutes?" Are there
any other ways of secure mail-downloading? Is there SSLed POP or smth?
The solution should be supported by the server (which I have no control
of, and right now it is Technion's T2 server). But any tips for future use
(when I move out from T2) are welcome as well.

				Thank you in advance,
