SMTP port 587, pop3 at 995 and SMTP Auth set on Send. On your server you'll need to set up sendmail to use starttls and stunnel to remap 995 to 110 (pop3 need be set up) as well as install and run cyrus-sasl. This will give you a fairly secure system that allows online/offline access to your email server. It also gives you secure access mechanism that works with stock Android email client, altho at the expense of losing the sorting that the Sylpheed client allows.
