TLS for SMTP makes no sence since this will only protect your message enroute from your machine to SMTP server but after that it is all open again. POP3 and IMAP with TLS (AKA POP3s and IMAPs) are available from number of providers such as Bluewin but not largely advertized. Why? I think the main reason is because compared to POP and IMAP, it is harder to set up this correctly within the MTA and can introduce many additional problems and errors. Providers are afraid of extra support calls. If user explicitly asks for this, then it can be assumed he knows what it is all about and will be able to set it up correctly himself.
