Ok, short question: I was thinking of using my raspberry as a mail
server, which made me think: is there a way to get nntp newsgroups via
IMAP? I didn't look too deep into the software yet, but it would be neat
if I could have that as an option.

 Why do you want that? It would be possible to implement some kind of gateway but it would require a lot of disc space and every time a group explodes you will drown in unread messages!
Why not just use a news client - and maybe the respberry as a proxy - if that make sense after you explained why you want to do it in the first place.

I have installed nextcloud on the rpi as a private file storage/talk board. Nextcloud also has an IMAP Mail interface. So I was thinking if I could maybe connect my installation of INN (as yet not configured) to it so I could read news by just going on my nextcloud page.
