Dear Jose,
If you use stunnel you can turn any IMAP server into a secure one. You run it on your server, it listens on the secure IMAP port and unencrypts the data before passing it to the ordinary insecure IMAP server.
Thanks a lot!! I´ve installed it, and it seems to work fine. Now I just have two beginners questions: 1. Tunneling through SSL means encrypting _everything_, including the authentication process (no plain text passwords flying throught the net) ? 2. Is it still possible to exploit a security bug of our IMAP server having the imap port closed to outside? I think the answers will be for 1. yes, and for 2. no, but want to be sure :)) Thanks again!
