If you are interested in just protecting the password then simply see if the providers support APOP. AFAIK, softhome doesn't.
STLS (starttls for pop3) is better .. (like below)

CAPA +OK Here's what I can do: SASL LOGIN TOP USER LOGIN-DELAY 600 PIPELINING UIDL IMPLEMENTATION Courier Mail Server . quit +OK Better luck next time. Connection closed by foreign host.
