It looks like stunnel 3.x will do this. The stunnel homepage
http://mike.daewoo.com.pl/computer/stunnel/
even has a link to a page describing how to SSLify IMAP servers and clients
(only in Italian).
Here's the relevant part for mutt:
>>>>
Lanciare stunnel con il comando (ad esempio durante lo startup):
> stunnel -c stunnel -c -v 2 -d 143 -r server_imap:993
dove -v 2 va specificata solo se è stato eseguito il punto precedente.
Un comando analogo va dato se si desiderano connessioni pop-3.
Configurare il cliente di e-mail in modo che acceda la porta imap (o pop-3)
di localhost.

Replace server_imap with your imap server, and set your imap mailhost to
{localhost} in mutt. Of course, if something is listening on port 143 on
localhost already (or you're otherwise unable to bind to port 143), you'll
have to pick an unused port and add it to your mailhost in mutt. Eg: s/-d
143/-d 1143/, then in mutt use {localhost:1143}.
I haven't tried any of this. :)
