Has somebody mentioned "mew"? (http://www.mew.org/ )
I think it does everything "out of the box", including
SMTP on SSL with or without authentication for sending email;
and IMAP and POP on SSL for receiving email.  For example,

http://www.mew.org/release/info/mew_78.html.en#SEC78

How much of the functionality works "out of the box" debends
on how your "box" is configured "out of the box". :-)  I've
been using mew for a long time.  I remember that switching from
plain SMTP to authenticated SMTP required only a couple
of lines in mew's configuration file, ~/.mew.el  .
