Introduction

  What is TunnelMail?

  TunnelMail is used to establish a secure VPN tunnel (using the
  encrypted SSH protocol) to a remote network mail server host.
  IMAP and POP3 protocols are used to receive and read email, 
  while SMTP is used to send email.

  SSH is an open source protocol that allows encrypted connections
  between a client and a server.  SSH has many levels of functionality,
  and what we utilize in this software is the SSH Tunnel.  The tunnel
  allows encrypted, secure communications between the remote client 
  and the SSH server, which will have a single open port exposed to the 
  Internet.  The SSH server will then connect to the internal host 
  through the local network.  Responses will flow back through the 
  tunnel to the client.
