You can get and use stunnel to create an SSL tunnel to the POP daemon
which will do just the same. As SSL is a wrapper to other protocols -
so I'd say it's more correct to use a wrapper rather than trying to
get each daemon support SSL. Anyway, I'm using it for the wu-imapd
(I just received your message via it) and it works great.

Hey, just noticed they're hosted by TheBunker.Net which was featured
today on SlashDot. Seems they recovered already from being
slashdotted...
My stunnel configuration for IMAP is:
stunnel -d 993 -l /usr/sbin/imapd imapd -p /usr/certs/mail.pem -D 7
(under root, since 993 is a privileged port)
For POP3, the standard port is 995.
