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,

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  .
