I receive my mail from a co-located server and use fetchmail over an 
ssh tunnel to bring it into my mail server at home. My home mailserver 
uses a second ssh tunnel to relay outbound mail through the co-located 
server. 

My home mailserver runs Redhat8. I use the supplied imapd (recompiled 
to use pine's "mail" directory instead of the user's home directory 
for the mailbox root) with a number of imap mail clients, including 
Ximian Evolution on Linux, Apple Mail on MacOSX, and Squirrelmail 
when I'm on the road. I only allow ssh from outside, so to use 
Squirrelmail, I set up an ssh tunnel to my home mailserver. If 
I'm on a Windows box, I'll download and install PuTTY, then use 
that to create the ssh tunnel.
