SSL IMAP and POP

[Andreas Haug <ajh () ipc uni-tuebingen de>]

Reading about SSL Proxys, I remember me searching for information on IMAP  
and POP over SSL some days ago.

Unfortunately, I haven't found anything useful, apart from the port numbers  
on which those services should live and a posting by someone who said that  
his own tries of having a Netscape Client talk to a patched IMAP server  
failed. No draft, no rfc, no useful tech info at Netscape.

Does someone have any information on how IMAP and POP over SSL is  
implemented? Are there patches for the freely available packages? Has anyone  
succeeded in implementing encrypted mailbox access without using a commercial  
server like the one from Netscape?

Thanks for your help.

Andreas.
