The why not forward the imap packets over the ssh connection?
On the client it would be something like:
ssh -L 2143:localhost:134 IMAP-SERVER-NAME
and on the client machine you would tell your email client to use:
127.0.0.1:2143
to connect to the IMAP server.
If you are using PINE then take a look at this page:
<http://www.unix.org.ua/orelly/networking_2ndEd/ssh/ch11_03.htm>
for a few more hints.
