I like using thunderbird to have all my emails in the same place, in a unified inbox. This doesn't allow me to access my inbox on my phone etc though, so I'm looking for a FOSS way to solve this problem.

My idea would be to selfhost a website, like a webmail site, that has the functionality of connecting to different mail servers and unifying the inbox to get all my mail in the same place. Should be accessible by android phones and iPads.

Is there a better way to do this? Maybe with nextcloud? If anyone has an idea, let me know.

That sounds good too. Thinking about it, I dont necessarily need a unified inbox, it's just makes my life easier. Thank you.

https://roundcube.net/ is the main webside. You can download the complete *.tar.gz file from https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/releases. Screenshots are at https://roundcube.net/screens/

you could set up email accounts as forwarders to a single account. And on the email client add these accounts as aliases so you can reply with them. So you get a single unified view of emails as well as ability to reply with the one you want.
