A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I think JMAP (the IMAP successor) is the best choice here. It was designed to be an open alternative to the proprietary APIs offered by Gmail and the like. It offers a JSON API that clients can talk to using HTTP. The JMAP website has some examples: https://jmap.io/crash-course.html
So it seems that a simple server that implements JMAP would be what the OP is looking for, perhaps https://github.com/stalwartlabs/mail-server (which also supports SMTP/IMAP for compatibility with other clients)?
Was going to say the same thing.
