[plug] SSH Tunnel

[Michael L. Benjamin]

That side of things is not hard. You setup a new session in putty, go to
SSH->Tunnels
define a local source port to connect to locally (with your application)
and a destination, including
remote port. In this case a forwarded port to connect to 9999. Then
point the local app at your local forwarded
port. At least that's the theory.

It sounds like what you want is putty's equivalent of `ssh -L
9999:mail.somewhere.net:110 server1` (assuming you're happy for the
connection between server1 and mail.s.n to be unencrypted).  I've never
used putty to do port forwarding, though, so I can't help you with the
mechanics of setting it up.
