Since T2's admins would not install a secure pop3/imap/anything server on
T2 I use the less elegant solution of opening a ssh connection to T2 with
forwarding of t2:110 to localhost:20110 . If you do that you may also
consider forwarding t2:21 and maybe others. (Actually - I use imap, so I
forward t2:143 to localhost:20143). Note that this solution also applies
to windows users (if they use scrt/ttssh to open a ssh connection).
Then I simply have to tell my client to query on localhost:20143 instead
of t2[:143]
