You connet to somewhereelse through ssh: ssh you@somewhereelse -L8110:localhost:110 Now somwherelse:110 (aka POP) is on your localhost:110 - ready for kmail to connext. Please note, that the "localhost" is leative to somewhereelse, not your local computer. POP is running on a thepopserver, reachable from somewhereelse. You connet to sumewhereelse through ssh and build a tunel that ends on thepopserver. note, thepopserver only needs to be reachable from somewhereelse, not your local site: ssh you@somewhereelse -L8110:thepopserver:110 Now thepopserver:110 (aka POP) is on your localhost:110 - ready for kmail to connext. Or use sshuttle to tunnel all your traffic through somewhereelse. Note: the local end (on your local computer) of the tunnel is established immediately, the remote part (somewherelse) is established when something connects to the local end.
