That's SSL encrypted POP-3 or pop3s (spop3 in some doco). It
runs on port 995 (IANA allocation) and is basic pop3 only encrypted ala
SSL much the same way https is just httpd encrypted with SSL.
You can set it up with a standard pop service and any one of a
number of SSL proxy/tunnel/wrapper agents. I use SSL Proxy and use to
use edssl for several secure pop and imap servers that I run. It's
fairly straight forewared to setup. You will need OpenSSL for the
libraries and to set up your server's certificate. You can get more
information on the wrappers and on OpenSSL up at the OpenSSL site,
<http://www.openssl.org>.
On the client side, Fetchmail now supports SSL in the main sources.
Effective with the 5.1.2 sources (current is 5.1.4) Eric Raymond (maintainer
of Fetchmail) and myself (maintainer of the SSL patches to Fetchmail) decided
to merge the SSL patches into the main Fetchmail sources. You can get the
package from Eric's site, <http://tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail/>.
The international version of Mutt also contains support for SSL
encrypted fetchmail. That can be had from their site, <http://www.mutt.org>.
