Securely access your webmail using SSH tunnels

Anonymous Reader writes “I came across a number of situations where I needed to access my business e-mail from an insecure environment. I am talking about conferences, exhibitions, as well as airports and open WLAN hotspots. Majority of free e-mail providers, such as Google GMail and Yahoo! have options to login by using a https connection over secure sockets layer (SSL) or transport layer security (TLS). However, in my case, a couple of business mailboxes can be accessed via a webmail that doesn’t offer any kind of encryption. The solution is pretty simple – create your own SSH Tunnel.”
