Well for now I'm using a compressed ssh tunnel

ssh -C -f xxx.xxx 143:xxx.xxx:143 sleep 32400

so that it runs the entire 9 hours I'm at work.
As for version numbers, the server is Slackware 7.1 using imap WU
IMAP4rev1

and the laptop is using Slackware 8 IMAP4rev1 also WU.

openssl is installed on both machines.
