Setting up TLS with Postfix is rather trivial if/when you have Certs. I
can post config samples later if requested (gotta go out right now).
Cyrus-Imap SSL seemed to be pretty painless also. Use "K-9" (or Kaiten on
Android) and your mail is secure there-and-back. Apple Mail and
Thunderbird work seamlessly with TLS/SSL also.
This page seems to have basing Godaddy SSL's for $5.99/yr.
