dovecot provides a proper shared imap server. But not all email clients allow moving emails between accounts (gmail and local email server), but Thunderbird does.
I can access the emails from any client

Not sure if it fits you, but personally I have set up a self hosted dovecot instance where i have moved old gmail emails to, using thunderbird as the client.
I use syncthing to copy important files between pc, phone and proxmox server. Syncthing can be set up with version control so it keeps old versions of files.
Only the proxmox server is properly backed up though. to a proxmox backup server running in a VM on said proxmox server. the encryptred backup files are copied to backblaze using rclone
Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but it works for me.
TLDR syncthing for copies between local machines, and proxmox backup server and backblaze for proper backups
You could take a look at one of the universal blue distros next time you want to try some linux https://universal-blue.org/
I use bazzite on my gaming pc and bluefin on my laptop. It is immutable linux, but the devs made the defaults really nice (for me at least)
I use miniflux. To read the feed I use Flux News on android. I don’t read the whole feed in the reader, but open the link
I think miniflux supports downloading the source, but I had to do it manually each time when I tried
I have used them since januar 2019, and I don’t have any complaints. I have only needed to restore backups once - it worked as well as could be expected.
Any issues with backups have always been on my side
I use dovecot for this. And thunderbird to actually move/archive the emails. I use caddy for many of my services, so I have pointed dovecot to caddys certificates (for “my.domain”), since it manages certificates through let’s encrypt. I had a plan to install postfix for sending internal emails from my self-hosted services, but it seemed like a bit of configuration and I got busy with other stuff
I made an excerpt from my docker-compose.yml, but you probably have to figure out some things on your own

I am using a terramaster d6-320 connected with usb-c.
It has been running zfs disks for proxmox via a geekom a5 mini pc since February. It has lost contact with the drives twice so far, more than a month between each time so I don’t know the cause. I am mostly happy with the setup, but of course it is annoying when it fails
My email calendars I leave alone, but I use caldav for personal calendar and tasks.
I use radicale as caldav server, and tasks.org on android and thunderbird on computer. Tasks.org works very well
I also use silverbullet (silverbullet.md) for more complex todo lists
I use miniflux, and flux news app on android. It looks nice and works well (i posted about it some time ago https://lemmy.world/post/9574514 )
I am not missing any features, but I am not doing anything fancy. I have grouped the rss feeds, if that counts as filtering
I have used it for a long time now, and I don’t have an urge to try and find something better, like I do for some other self hosted stuff.
I might miss your target, but have you considered tasks.org android app + caldav?
I have been using silverbullet the last few months, but I struggle keeping up with its updates (too bleeding edge at the moment). I has a lot of nice features like all markdown, queries and templates.
Now I am back to tasks.org app + radicale self-hosted caldav server. For tasks it flows so well on android. for windows you need to use something that supports caldav, like thunderbird.
When silverbullet matures and if it is still fast and offline, I might go back. It has a lot of nice stuff going on. I still use for stuff like recipes and travel lists
I used it for a few years, but it broke a few times, and I had to search online and find an occ
command to fix it. It also could break if you didn’t upgrade regularly and skipped versions. Or you upgraded too quickly before a bug was hotfixed.
Maybe it is better now, but I looked into alternatives and found syncthing to be awesome (after I switched from iphone to android). I use samba share for cold storage. Syncthing can take a lot of space since it syncs all the files to all units
I ended up with syncthing + the default gallery app on my samsung galaxy phone. It works well for me.
But I don’t have a crazy amount of images, the phone storage needs to be large enough.
I just bought one, but I haven’t set it up yet. But it looks like it will fit me nicely based on apalrd video https://youtu.be/qML-ct2dGvQ
I tried this, but couldn’t find a better editor as android app. The closest I got was Zettel notes. But silverbullet worked better
Yes, I have used it for many months. It has been the best solution for my use case for a while. Which is tasks, shopping, planning (trips, …), recipes, and a simple knowledgebase. It was the offline support that set it apart from some other solutions
I have the files in a syncthing folder, so I can access the files without running silverbullet
My biggest problem is keeping up with all the changes. Zef made some youtube videos that are helpful
I installed k-9 mail / Thunderbird on my android phone and set it to sync all emails, so I have local copy on my phone
I also have internal only traffic, but I still use let’s encrypt. I self signed for a couple of years, but switching to proper certificates made things much simpler and better. Especially on mobile.
I use a combination of my own domain and caddy. and duckdns, since my domain registrar does not have an api caddy can use, but I can point my domain to my duckdns domain and it works 👍
I too use miniflux and I like it
I made a post some weeks ago https://lemmy.world/post/9574514
I use proxmox and proxmox backup server (in a vm). I reinstall them both, and re-add lxc and vm and their drives from backup. has already worked once.
important files are additionaly synced to laptop and phone using syncthing.
proxmox backups (which are encrypted) are rcloned to backblaze for offsite backup
