Hi Andy,
A word of warning: pop3 and imap tend to communicate authentication
information in plaintext. Sending protocols like those over the open
Internet (whether using Tor or not) is generally a very risky thing
to do.
Sending them over Tor may be even riskier.
(There are safe ways to do it, e.g. by making sure that your Tor
clients
use a hidden service to transport their plaintext protocols, or making
sure they always exit from a relay that's on the same local network as
the destination. But you need to think carefully about these issues in
any case.)
