I use the standard pop3 server on my home machine. It is compiled to 
allow ssl-logins only, so you'll need to issue a certificate for it and 
work off, I think, port 995 et al. Instructions for this are in the SuSE 
knowledgebase or, possibly, on your HD under 
/usr/share/doc/packages/imap/README.SuSE which covers both pop3 and 
imap. Alternatively, use a server that is compiled to work in the old 
plain text way.
