I'm looking for a way to secure my current qpopper connection.
Encrypting the password is okay, although I'd rather encrypt the
whole session.
It should be supported by the usual commercial mailers (though I'm
willing to drop netscape support for now)

Doesn't this require a certificate from Verisign?

Tunneling which is not transparent (i.e. has to be performed on both
the server and the client side) is not very good for me.

Good idea. Most commercial clients support APOP if I'm not mistaken.
Is there a way to encrypt the whole session, though?
