Clientless VPN (SSL VPN) vs HTTPS

[harbinger <bluetooth995 () gmail com>]

Hi

These days SSL VPN has been the alternative to
the tradition IPsec VPN, particularly for users that
require only email access.

However, what is the different in implementing SSL VPN -
which essentially means allowing only webbased traffic i.e webmail,
as compare to just to setup a webmail server running HTTPS.

Can anyone point out the differences??

Thanks
