Title: pop3 module doesn't support pop3s

Description:
The pop3 module doesn't support pop over ssl (pop3s).
This patch adds support for a "-tls" option (must be boolean). The tls package should be present or it throws an error (I think this is the correct behaviour).
Being there, also corrects a mispelled error message ("Too" instead of "To")

Another piece of code for the same/similar functionality is at http://wiki.tcl.tk/13352, by mic42.

And egavilan confirms on the Tcler's chat:

Question: IIRC I have read somewhere that this patch was used to access gogle's gmail. Is that right? Can't seem to remember anymore where I read that.
