Using SEE with GMAIL

If you have an account at GMAIL, it is possible to send and receive email using a SSL enabled proxy server such as the (free) STUNNEL (http://www.stunnel.org/) proxy server.

The data flow for sending email is:

SEE_Program --> STUNNEL --> smtp.gmail.com --> recipient

and the data flow for receiving email is:

SEE_Program <-- STUNNEL <-- pop.gmail.com <-- your_Gmail
