Is there a self-hosted email client with push notifications?

Thanks for the suggestions, but no, I have not. I am not looking to replace my mail app, but to remove it from my device entirely.

Might be easiest to just find a mail host that supports push notifications and keep using the mail client that works for you. I host my own mailcow server and enable notifications for mailboxes I want to get notified for via Pushover.

So if you don't have any mail client, how do you receive the notification?

You can run a gui-less service that recieves and displays push notifications. I've programmed something like this before.

Well, no mail client. Browsers, ntfy, gotify and others can receive notifications too.

If I understand correctly, you want a PWA webmail that also supports the Push API?

Haven't tried it yet, but I am going to attempt https://mailcow.email/

I think mailcow only supports Pushover for notifications, but it may have changed.

99.9% of users don't have/use "server-side sieve filtering", so every new mail comes to the inbox only and the user might move it to a different folder later on. Because the workflow of most users is like this, you will have a hard time "going against the grain" if that makes sense.
My practical recommendation to you would be to just use a single inbox like everyone else if it's not critical for you to have "server-side sieve filtering".
I know it's hard sometimes to not have something work exactly like you wanted it. It happened to me many times also. Going with the majority is much easier and less time consuming than going the other painful, lone, hard route imo. Anyways, hope you find a good solution
