qpopper pop3 and SSL experiences

To make a long story short, I have been unable to get qpopper 4.0.5 + SSL 
to work with Eudora 5.2.1. Using my self-signed cert I can get a secure 
connection to Apple's OS X mail client, but not Mac or Windows Eudora. On 
the Mac I see handshake errors, on Windows I get errors which I may be able 
to get around but without Mac support it isn't worth it.

 From Googling I have learned that there are many others having issues with 
qpopper, Eudora and SSL but I haven't found a workaround.

Has anyone found a pop3 daemon with SSL support that works with a wide 
variety of email clients? Oh, FWIW my MTA is Exim and I should be able to 
switch to maildir instad of /var/ mail storage easily enough, if required, 
as the system is not in production yet.

Thanks!

Cheers,
Matt
