Hi,
       I am primarily looking to provide Secure services for POP3 and
IMAP the
idea behind it is that communication between server and client is
encrypted. One
of the way is using SSL services for POP3 and IMAP and was wondering if
anybody had successfully implemented it.
    I have also heard that POP3 and IMAP communication can be secured
using
SSH and was wondering anybody has any idea about it.

Thanks,
Sunil.

Courier-IMAP will work for you.

Either run a POP/IMAP server that supports SSL natively (ie. with no
add-on utility) such as Courier IMAP or qpopper 4, or run a standard
IMAP/POP server along with an SSL wrapper such as sslwrap, stunnel, or
SSH, which will redirect the flow to the mail server.

The same applies to clients: Either run one that supports SSL natively
such as Outlook, OutlookExpress, Netscape, or Eudora 5.1, or run a
local SSL wrapper (provided the client lets you specify the port
number it should connect to locally.)
