You would have to create an ftp client with SSL added also. ssh's sftp has that capability and there are 2 generally available clients - sftp and scp. I believe there are clients for most computers. qpopper provides SSL for POP3 which works with most of the common mail clients. You may have to provide a popper port for both 110 and 995 in order to pick up both the older and newer clients. I have had to provide both. SSL can be used with sendmail. There is a lot of information available at www.sendmail.org. I have not tried that yet. Its on the list of things to do someday.
