You *either* need an SSL/TLS enabled IMAP server (like, say, Courier-IMAP,
but that won't run on RaQs. At least, not without serious modification.)
*or* a very handy gadget called 'stunnel'.

I've used stunnel in a number of places now, it's extremely useful.

Might I introduce you all to the wonders of Freshmeat?
