But we can use Stunnel http://www.stunnel.org/ to run Becky with SSL.

Download stunnel-4.05.exe to C:\Program Files\Stunnel\
http://www.stunnel.org/download/stunnel/win32/stunnel-4.05.exe

Download llibssl32.dll and libeay32.dll to C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32
http://www.stunnel.org/download/stunnel/win32/openssl-0.9.7d-zlib/libssl32.dll
http://www.stunnel.org/download/stunnel/win32/openssl-0.9.7d-zlib/libeay32.dll

Edit a file named stunnel.conf, save it to C:\Program Files\Stunnel

stunnel.conf:
client = yes

[pop3s]
accept = localhost:50110
connect = your.pop3s.server.domain.or.ip:995

[imaps]
accept = localhost:50143
connect = your.imap.server.domain.or.ip:993
