Will ssh tunnel everything over the one connection?

newsserver.com and mailserver.com are both really localhost to my HOME machine since I
am running those services.

So I take it the command below will connect from WORK to HOME and let me get to HOME's
ports 119 and 143 from WORK's port 119 and 143?

ssh -p 443 user@home -L 119:localhost:119 -L 143:localhost:143
