The thing is, I have found that most people want to encrypt not to hide stuff from the govt, but to hide stuff from nosy system admins at their ISPs or workplace. Man-In-The-Middle intercepts are a factor, but many are more concerned with "who can read my mail before I get it while it is waiting for me"
Actually.. to deter the possibility of collusion (guards DO talk amongst themselves), have two separate brinks trucks. Each truck they learn four codes (which only two are needed, but they dont know which one, and are told that only one of them is needed)
What many here fail to realize is that it is not specifically the chip used in the game console that is not allowed to be exported, but the hardware based encryption/encoding/decoding used for the game data that is built into the playstation 2 which is under the export control.
This is also why certain video cards are restricted. They may contain hardware encryption/encoding/decoding routines that ths US consideres as munitions.

OK.... So whens the IPO

Use SSH and port forwarding.
fetchmail has an easier way to do it automatically using SSH port forwarding (I have not yet found a seamless implemention)..
There is an implementation of SSL/IMAP, but both clients and server have to follow it.
Note: Same thing with
POP3
and you may want to use SSH port forwarding with NNTP. (which is also in the clear...)
The problem w/ SSH port forwarding is that the server also needs to support SSHD (but if you have control over both machines)....

They do scan for them...
I log at least one scan per week directed specifically to network printer ports (HP or otherwise)
