Is there some sort of web interface for self-hosted e-mail that is reasonably good and sleek/modern-looking like Gmail, and also works well on mobile with swipe gestures and everything?

I imagine this comes down to personal preference a lot, but I strongly prefer Roundcube over Gmail. They have improved a lot over the past years, if you have some preconceptions. After 10y+ on Gmail I finally feel like I am getting a grasp over my own email. But then I also very much prefer a hierarchical/directory tree approach to organizing e-mail than labels&search as Gmail does it. More similar UX-philosophy can…

Oh, I forgot to mention Rainloop, which is quite similar to Roundcube.

Vultr, Linode, Njalla, Hetzner, Scaleway

Have you actually hosted an email server on all five of those? As you mentioned in your other comment, it can be very helpful if your VPS provider is able to respond to support requests asking Microsoft for IP addresses to be whitelisted. I can't imagine all VPS providers would be so helpful but you didn't mention which one you were using in that comment.

Late to the game. Vultr does block port 25 by default, but if you request it to be unblocked for your account and agree not to be abusive with the protocol, they'll open it up for you.
