Yes you can use secure imap with dovecot
near the beginning of dovecot.conf
protocols = imap pop3 imaps pop3s
basically in my config I have pop3 secure pop3 imap and secure imap
Why not just use a VPN to your home machine that way you can access the
newsgroups too and you would have no issues with dovecot being open to
the outside world
