Also, does it work about the same with smtp?

Yet no ice cream or milk to go with it. Also, I believe there was some mention
of apfelstrudel,* but my plate is still empty.

P.S. We call it apple strudel in these here parts.
Since we are going off-topic all over the place,
I will try to be the
pillar of stability here. (I know, I know, but nobody else will do it.) I
am starting a new thread, because this goes off-topic in a good way.
You earned yourself a cookie :) I believe it was Michael who wrote this memorable
line, which immediately
got
my attention:
POP is running on somewhereelse. You connet to somewhereelse through ssh:
ssh you@somewhereelse -L8110:localhost:110
Now somwherelse:110 (aka POP) is on your localhost:110 - ready for kmail to
connext. Please note, that the "localhost" is leative to somewhereelse, not
your local computer.
POP is running on a thepopserver, reachable from somewhereelse. You connet
to sumewhereelse through ssh and build a tunel that ends on thepopserver.
note, thepopserver only needs to be reachable from somewhereelse, not your
local site: ssh you@somewhereelse -L8110:thepopserver:110
Now thepopserver:110 (aka POP) is on your localhost:110 - ready for kmail
to connext.
POP through an always present SSH tunnel.
Now, I have used ssh tunnels for lots of programs that are more (what's
the word?) "passive"; that is, listening to online radio, xmpp clients,
wget, youtube-dl and apt-get and other things like that, where I am
mostly downloading data. But when I tried to run Kmail over any proxy
connections, it would crash. It seemed to me that an ssh tunnel would be
the way, but how to do it? Or use sshuttle to tunnel all your traffic through
somewhereelse.
Note: the local end (on your local computer) of the tunnel is established
immediately, the remote part (somewherelse) is established when something
connects to the local end.

Thanks, Nik!
This is why I like the TDE mailing list. Somebody else has probably already
tried out whatever I am just now imagining.
