Looking for a new notes app that will sync with the notes that are stored with my email provider eg gmail and custom email provider.
Similar to how the Apple notes apps work, but ideally cross platform (osx/win/Ubuntu).
I’ve noticed there are lots of notes apps that use their own formats and data sources, but struggling to find something that will work without having to host another service or rely on Onedrive/Google/iCloud etc.
Besides from iOS/macOS, Fastmail seems to be the only choice.
If you’re going to rely on external mailserver anyway, I don’t see no point not to use cloud providers with markdown notes. (almost) Perfectly cross platform.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhosted@lemmy.world
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.

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).

That would be caldav, not imap I think.
I divorced from Google and host my own with radicale. On Android I sync with Davx. On desktop thunderbird.

Was going to recommend nextcloud, but you don’t want another service to host.
It might be worth a look at nextcloud, to see if it has other tools you use.
