I have always used Putty to create SSH tunnels for mail and most other services since I'm a laptop/wireless user. The problem I had with Putty was that it was kind of difficult to setup for new users, and it also always opened up a shell in a window. I just moved to Entunnel, which offers an easy to use interface that stays in the system tray.
