I am seeking a BBS or retro network that offers secure Internet email
with POP3 or IMAP access with SSL/TLS. Bonus if it can relay messages to
and from from FIDONET / DOVE-NET or other boutique networks.

The benefit to me is that these small system network ops take great care
of their customers, and they don't have artificial intelligence
algorithms scanning the messages, or loon employees doxing people's emails.

Free or paid is fine.

What are the options?

It appears this is just a usenet provider. No BBS or email found on the
link.

Closer this one ... but I think all that was asked for OP can find from
the first BBS on the list.

There are tons of these, as Synchronet and Mystic BBSes have all of
those features. Someone else already linked to the Synchronet BBS list,
which should get you to one. One of those is up at tacopronto.bbs.io
but I haven't really tested all of those features yet :). It's on DOVE,
but not FIDO.

I'm not sure how many offer POP3/IMAP and TLS. Synchronet's IMAP server has
been a little iffy in the past. I'm pretty sure that the message bases show
up as IMAP folders, last time I checked.

Being able to run IMAP, NNTP and IRC off of one box with Fido and othernet
access is pretty nice if you can find it.


... Such a format will close the door.
