Hi,

Check if your ISP provides POP3SSL (try telnetting port 995), you can
use it to establish an encrypted session. Most of the mail agent
supports POP3SSL. I don't think you have any other options.

Subject: [LIH]ssh tunnels for pop

Hi,
I have a couple of accounts with ISP like hotpop, softhome etc. which
provides me POP3 accounts only. Now the password is passed in plain
text. Can I establish a tunnel through which I can send the password in
encrypted format? Please remember I do not have any kind of shell access
on the remote machine. Also, if I create the tunnel can I use my mail
agent like Kmail or Netscape Mail to use it?

Thanks a lot in advance and bye.
With warm regards,
-Payal
