What do you currently use to read it?  If you use an ordinary mail
client on Windows, then another ordinary mail client on Linux should
work, as well.

You've mentioned "SSL" but that's a vague description.  SSL is
encryption, it's not a transfer protocol.  And it can be used over a
variety of data transfer protocols, HTTPS being just one of them.
Evolution can use SSL with at least the IMAP protocol, but I haven't
looked through all the options.

We're a bit lucky down here, Yahoo still has a POP3 interface to their
free mail, so I can use any mail client.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
