It looks like stunnel 3.x will do this. The stunnel homepage
http://mike.daewoo.com.pl/computer/stunnel/
even has a link to a page describing how to SSLify IMAP servers and clients
(only in Italian).
Here's the relevant part for mutt:
>>>>
Lanciare stunnel con il comando (ad esempio durante lo startup):
> stunnel -c stunnel -c -v 2 -d 143 -r server_imap:993
dove -v 2 va specificata solo se รจ stato eseguito il punto precedente.
Un comando analogo va dato se si desiderano connessioni pop-3.
Configurare il cliente di e-mail in modo che acceda la porta imap (o pop-3)
di localhost.
>>>>
Replace server_imap with your imap server, and set your imap mailhost to
{localhost} in mutt. Of course, if something is listening on port 143 on
localhost already (or you're otherwise unable to bind to port 143), you'll
have to pick an unused port and add it to your mailhost in mutt. Eg: s/-d
143/-d 1143/, then in mutt use {localhost:1143}.
I haven't tried any of this. :)

Generally you can use a tunnel, and locally wrap the normal IMAP connectionn through a local -> remote wrapper.

Re: ssl-imap and mutt
will do. Actually that's probably the best bet for me anyway, since I wonder whether US crypto regulations would prevent me from releasing more invasive SSL support... - Original Message - From: Thomas Roessler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Brendan Cully <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: David Thorburn-Gundlach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Mutt Users' List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, August 23, 1999 10:30 AM Subject: Re: ssl-imap and mutt > Possibly, you can implement this using some wrapper tools.

Re: ssl-imap and mutt
Possibly, you can implement this using some wrapper tools. I seem to recall that you can use ssl-wrap to "sslify" software which doesn't support SSL as is. Please investigate this path further before starting to add OpenSSL to mutt. ;-) Thanks.

But I don't know anything about the SSL-IMAP protocol. If anyone has any docs or pointers to this protocol, I'll investigate adding support for this.
