imap.el support CRAM-MD5, kerberos4 (gssapi/kerberos5 should work too,
haven't really gotten around to test it) and SSL, the next release
should support DIGEST-MD5 and STARTTLS too.

Have a look at the documentation for `nnimap-authenticator' and
`nnimap-stream'.

Sure, set up the ssh port-forward and tell Gnus to connect to
localhost:4711 (or whatever).
