There are many tutorials. There is one I used to recommend, I'll see if I
can find it again.

In the meantime...

ssh -L 1110:localhost:110 your.mail.server.com

This presumes you have ssh access to your mail server.

You'll need to point your local client at port 1110 of localhost.

As suggested, consider using TLS. I use SSH, but most people would
probably find TLS easier to use.

I also recommend moving to IMAP :).

ciao,
