Actually, GMail supports SMTP and IMAP; they just give scary
warnings about enabling them because they lack 2FA support.
git manpages for git-imap-send(1) and git-send-email(1)
document GMail support, even.

I'm not sure if NNTP tools exist for NNTP=>IMAP or NNTP=>POP3;
yet.  But if I write an NNTP=>POP3 server, it'll more likely
be a part of yahns (Ruby) and not part of public-inbox (Perl5)
at this point; so maybe you would be willing host that for
other people, too :)
