You could just use the SSH secure connection method. SSH lets you redirect
a local port on your machine, encrypts that, sends it to the SSH server
you're connected to, and that sends it to wherever. I use it to pick up my
IMAP mail from work, where absolutely no outside connections using
passwords are allowed. And my brother SSHs into here to get his POP mail
and send it with SMTP.

I'm using Cedomir Igaly's SSH client for Windows v2.101 (searching for
"cedomir igaly ssh" on yahoo always finds it for me). There's a newer
version available with more options, but it seems to have a problem using
RSA keys, so I use my old v2.101.
