Snappymail wraps all the nice things you've wanted in an email app you can self-host and point at any SMTP provider. I highly recommend it. There is a Docker file for those of us who like isolation and modularity in our lives. Plus, the client can be a PWA on your phone, so no app is required. Finally, it has GPG support in the app and can be stored on the server side. It's not the Fort Knox of GPG setups, but it will help remove the excuse that one day I might set up a GPG so I can email myself endless test messages. 

Here's an example docker compose in its most basic yet functional state if you just want to kick the tires comment or remove the volumes segment.  The YAML config specification is highly dependent on an even number of spaces this email might eat some spaces.

version: '3.9'
services:
  snappy:
    image: djmaze/snappymail
    volumes:
      - ./snappydata:/var/lib/snappymail 
    ports:
      - "8888:8888"
