Guessing passwords with Hydra

Hi there,
We are trying to brute-force a POP3 server with SSL encryption.
Brutus which was supposed to be the favorite tool does not support POP3 over SSL.
Now we are trying to brute-force the server with Hydra but surprisingly Hydra does not support guessing technique but only dictionary attack.

Any idea ?

Thanks,

Idan.
