Yes, this is also something I very much want. I personally use (al)pine over SSH, so I don't need this ... my email is already on my own mailserver and I already access it over a secure channel, etc. But my wife ... she's not going to put up with pine. So then I run a pop daemon. And she pops from gmail. And her email is in third party hands, etc. If there were a decent web mail client, I could turn off popd, one less open port, and access only over SSL. Which I would hide with port-knocking, of course. I can teach her port-knocking, right ?
