email - IMAP & SSL?

[brycenut]

Running a 5500 with the Sharp 3.1 ROM, Symbol/Socket 802.11b card.  Networking is working great, but checking my email is a hassle, as the university uses secure IMAP.  That\'s great from a security standpoint, but I can\'t find an email client for the Z that can make SSL connections.

I\'ve played with the email client included with the 3.1 ROM, and it works great for sending email (smtp is not encrypted), but can\'t check email.  Is there a app out there that allows IMAP over SSL?  I deal with attachments regularly, and \"funny\" (windows users) filenames for them.  

I do have SSH/SFTP access to the mail server, and can SSH in and use Pine, but attachments have to be saved, then retrieved, complete with the aforementioned filenames that SFTP doesn\'t like, etc.

Also, as a side question, is there a graphical SFTP app for the Z?  I played with KonquerorEmbedded, but it says it doesn\'t support the sftp protocol, unlike \"big\" Konqueror.

Found the answer to my own question, posting here in case anyone else wants to try it.   Install stunnel from http://zaurus.logix.cz/tips.xp/stunnel  Then, following the czech instructions on their site , add the two lines listed to /etc/inetd.conf, then restart with killall -HUP inetd.  Finally, in the email client, choose IMAP or POP3, then put localhost as the server.  The port number can remain as the default (143 for IMAP).  

Now that\'s settled, it doesn\'t work nearly as well as I\'d like.  As others have posted, the IMAP client is seriously brain-dead; downloading all your messages from every folder, including trash, into your inbox.  Takes quite a while with a few hundred or few thousand messages.  So your alternatives are to use POP3 and leave messages on server if your server supports both, or deal with the slow/buggy email client.  Personally I\'ll stick with SSH/Pine, or maybe try Pine for the zaurus....
