Setting up port forwarding with SecureCRT is simple between two boxes, but put the third box between them and now you have a problem. To do port forwarding for pop you're telling SecureCRT to connect to the remote machine at port 110 and locally at localhost port. The firewall is disallowing connections to port 110. If your firewall is a Socks 4 or 5 firewall, SecureCRT 3.3 provides support for them and it can be done, with or without authentication. If your firewall proxies pop with the plug-gw it can be done. If neither of the previous is true, it cannot be done. If the proxy/firewall does proxy 110 and responds with anything after the "connect" command is sent, it cannot be done. See "Connecting through a Firewall" in the SecureCRT help pages.

So for example I can point outlook at port 9876 and get my pop3 mail via ssh2. The main reason I want this is for the laptop when I am out in the field as the firewall doesn't accept incoming connections on port 110. Or is there another software that will do port forwarding?
