   Hello all,   
      
   About two weeks ago I was asking good, simple email program for XP, as my   
   ISP is switching to SSL only access.  After having gone to a few I decided   
   that Sylpheed v3.7 looks best.   
      
      
   However, yesterday I realized that there is a possible another solution : a   
   standard-connection-to-SSL conversion program (also called a tunnel?)   
      
   A bit of googeling resulted in "stunnel".  Its a bit heavy though.   Are   
   there better/simpeler programs that do just SSL wrapping (for a pop3 and   
   smtp connection)?   
      
   By the way : I have little wish to have such a SSL-tunnel program running   
   all the time, so something that can easily be started and terminated would   
   be preferred.   
      
   Regards,   
   Rudy Wieser
