I am not 100% sure what you are asking. If you were to expand on your 
very terse query it would probably be much easier to answer your question.

I use Mozilla Thunderbird with secure IMAP at home. If you have IMAPD 
configured for secure (SSL) access all you need to do is setup your IMAP 
account in you mail reader. Server is the hostname of your IMAP server. 
and the port is 993. On thunderbird it selects the correct port number 
for you if you click the checkbox titled "Use secure connection".

hope that helps.
