I'd say evolution-list is a better place for that, as there are most of 
the users. And I'd expect mainly developers to lurk on evolution-hackers.

I'll copy the important part again:

You then have to make Evo connect to localhost:4025 for the SMTP 
connection. And localhost:4110 for the POP connection.
But you explicitly have to set this SSH tunnel up. Either yourself or 
through evo.

You can even edit your ~/.ssh/config to include smth like
Host tunnel
  User username
  HostName remotehost
  LocalForward 4110 remotehost:110
  LocalForward 4025 remotehost:25

to have your tunnels set up with just a "ssh tunnel", instead of a "ssh 
-L 4025:remote-server:25 4110:remote-server:110 username remote-server". 
But as it's not the scope of evolution-hackers at all, I'll point you to 
ssh_config's man-page for further information.

Cheers,
