21 years ago I was surprised to find poplib doesn't have support for SSL.
Any reason why this hasn't been added?
I need this ability for my own use, so I'd be willing to write the support for this if there is interest in including it in poplib.py.
I seems like it would be easy to add a POP3_SSL subclass similar to IMAP4_SSL in imaplib.
