A quick search on "imap nntp" turned up this list that might be useful - http://deflexion.com/messaging/ although I wonder when it was written because I remember using Aaron's RSS to email aggregator when RSS was new(!).
It mentions gmane, though, which certainly still exists (I assume it carries this list too). And this page suggests you can read gmane via nntp - http://reticule.gmane.org/ Aha! yes! It;s in the FAQ :o) Can I read news via secure NNTP (nntps)? Yes. Point your news reader towards nntps://snews.gmane.org/. http://www.gmane.org/faq.php I should be working; I will try that this evening. What was the name of the client that threaded messages with a cute ascii tree?!
