Well, if you already have a *nix box at home, you can foreword the port via SSH.

Its not perfect (requires manual intervention) but it works quite well in a pinch.

ssh me@my.linux.box -L 2525:mail.isp.net:25 (smtp)
ssh me@my.linux.box -L 1110:mail.isp.net:110 (pop)

Then, you point your email client to connect to localhost (on the high number port # defined).

BTW - I'm also pretty sure there is openssh in the cygwin package for windows, so you can use that or some other "native" ssh client.
