Webmail server with multiple mail accounts (lemmy.ohaa.xyz)

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.

okay :) I find it interesting because :

Build in Rust
Supports several databases like rocksdb, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite
Seems to support connecting to your current logins setup e.g. LDAP or MySQL db
Got funding via NLnet
Supports JMAP
Does not seem to require Docker (which means for me some flexibility network config wise to run it on an existing server where non Docker based services are running).
Encryption at Rest enabled or disabled by user.

Especially the JMAP part I am curious about. I hope to toy with this every now and then, and then report back :)

JMAP sounds interesting indeed, but as far as I understand, there is an underwhelming number of clients that speak it?

Ah, yes, you're right, cheers for that, but I am interested to compare JMAP speed and options with IMAP. And to test Stalwart I would not mind using the first and the last three in that Clients list.
