Here's what I want.... I leave a computer on at home and it checks my email. I get emails from it at my phone. No setup. Make it work like Sinkthing used to work. I don't want cloud anything. Fucking backup nightmare where my shit ends up kidnapped by a company for monthly ransom.

Syncthing still works like that. It’s completely self hostable. I have it on a pi 1B+ lol

I have it but it eats up battery on the phones and the Dev left so it's probably going to go caput at some point.

You really need to clarify your comment, as it's already causing confusion.

  1. The official Syncthing project is going strong, and is not the same thing as the Android app.
  2. The Android app was discontinued late last year due to Google's increasingly difficult requirements to publish on the Play Store.
  3. Syncthing-Fork is now what Syncthing recommends for Android users.
