Especially since you want to access IMAP from anywhere, at least do it over a secure connection (ssh or ssl) so that you don't broadcast your password and email messages in the clear.
I have IMAP over SSH too. It seems to be the most secure set-up.
The only issue I see with IMAP over SSH is that there is a certain amount of 'customisation' required at the client end isn't there? I.e. it would be rather difficult/inconvenient to use from someone else's computer or an internet cafe. Or am I missing something?
I have my normal client on my laptop for accessing IMAP over SSH. For public terminal access I have a webmail site hosted on my server to access it.
