I have tried several, and liked none of them. I'm currently on Geary, but it's lacking in functionality, and it has things like search results being a bit different upon each of my searches. Starred messages cannot be shown on top. Eyeroll. I think Evolution and Thunderbird are the top contenders, and of the self-hosted ones, Roundcube. https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Geary https://roundcube.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 22 days ago
You could try a standalone email client like Mozilla's Thunderbird, or if you're experienced running a web server, you could check out something like Roundcube. I suppose you could even run it locally if you're familiar with PHP and/or Docker. Source: about 1 year ago
What I really miss is a "web companion" for Thunderbird, basically something like https://roundcube.net/ or https://www.horde.org/apps/webmail, but a bit more powerful and with better UX. I'd like to use a Google Addressbook within such app, for example (there is a completely outdated plug-in for RoundCube). Another important thing would be powerful and fast search. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
Alternatively if you want to keep what you have I wouldn't recommend using the SoGO even though it's the nicest and most modern option. Mainly because it's a full groupware client and will require a lot of configuration. Instead using Roundcube is probably your best option. Source: over 1 year ago
Roundcube might fit the bill for you. Source: over 1 year ago
I'd do it with a local IMAP server in conjunction with a webmail client that connects to it. Dovecot is a fantastic and easy to use IMAP server. Webmail clients are a pretty personal thing, but the last time I used Roundcube it seemed pretty good. Source: over 1 year ago

Any reason you are looking to build your own instead of using any of the existing open-source web-mail clients, like Roundcube? Source: almost 2 years ago
Disclaimer: I haven't used it myself yet but was considering. For a pre-made combo that might save a lot of integration effort : docker-mailserver, optionally combined with roundcube for webmail.

The right answer: https://roundcube.net/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
There are open source web mail clients if you want though - I vaguely remember rainloop (https://www.rainloop.net/) and roundcube (https://roundcube.net/) being ones I looked at back in the day. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
Regarding the frontend I would rather focus on using an existing one. I.e. Using Roundcube if you want to stay fully traditional or use the Protonmail frontend if you want to create a new FOSS Protonmail with secure defaults. Source: about 2 years ago
Webmail: Many people don't even use an e-mail client today -- they use webmail to access their messages, or they use a local app that itself depends heavily on a webmail server on the backend to do the heavy lifting. When the server is doing the e-mail handling and rendering work, the server has to have access to the cleartext. Even in situations where the messages are decrypted in javascript (or a Java applet)... Source: over 2 years ago
Of course not. Most readers would understand by "Postfix/Dovecot" that Postfix is the MTA in the equation, Dovecot is the IMAP server, that something like Roundcube is used for the webmail, and there are likely other pieces depending on the business needs. You know that, too. If you want to argue against a Postfix and Dovecot based stack, then please do so without comparing apples and applesauce. Source: almost 3 years ago
That seems pretty unfortunate. For example, I remember Roundcube being pretty neat, but surely it handles enough user data to require COPPA compliance... So now that can't be GPL'd anymore? Source: almost 3 years ago
Roundcube is a good webmail client, it has a plugin to support PGP. On mobile there is FairEmail. Source: almost 3 years ago
