Is there a way (I'm sure there is, I just don't know it), to connect
securely to a mail server?  Using SSH for remote connections seems a
must, and I do that, but what about requests made by mail clients to
mail servers?  Those usernames/passwords go over in plain text, what's
the point of using SSH when my mail-requests go over in plain-text?
