[techtalk] Opinion needed on Mail Clients

[Mandi]

Encryption has to be supported on the server side, SPOP or something,
doesn't it?

Someone gave a talk at our LUG last year about it....buncha stuff about
handing out the keys and keeping the keyserver and the pop server talking
....

??  I don't remember all the details, and I can't place the link to the
presentation at the moment.

Has anyone deployed secure pop services?
