While it's a bit klunky, I found Ixplorer soon after I discovered putty
(http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/). It's a front-end for
pscp written in Delphi that mimics the ubiquitous Windows Explorer:
http://www.i-tree.org/ixplorer.htm. Source is available. I think your
average windows user could get the hang of this pretty quickly.
As for IMAP, I've been playing with courier-imap and it has full SSL
support. Ditto for the pop daemon that comes with the package, and
sqwebmail can be run on an ssl-enabled apache. And then there's the ssl
patches for qmail... Just part of an experiment to see how many things I
could wrap with ssl :) It was all pretty easy. The hard part would be
putting docs together for your users to explain how to click all the
relevant checkboxes in their mail program(s).
