I just need a pointer in the right direction as to how to decrypt SSL packets so that I can parse those as well.

I think even Winshark is able to handle some SSL decryptions.

I see, so instead of worrying about decrypting SSL packets (I understand why being able to decrypt SSL so easily would totally defeat the purpose of having SSL) I should instead focus on perhaps creating a proxy or relay server to grab POP3 e-mails.
