wrapssl and edssl can be used to wrap a standard IMAP or POP daemon
launched from inetd.

I tried both.  I had better luck with wrapssl than edssl.  wrapssl
seemed to work, but netscape's SSL imap may be flakey - netscape died on
me consistently when trying to use SSL imap - but the same (large
collection of) folders worked fine with imap but without the SSL.

This was with suns, BTW.
