So all of these apps like gmail, outlook, etc. let me login to all of my websites different emails but none of them seem to sync across devices. Is there an app that lets me login to all my inboxes once and then sync that logininfo across pc, iphone, and android?

Right now I have to manually add all the email accounts in to each device, none of the mobile apps sync to their pc counterparts.

Basically what I said. Dovecot can be installed on every Linux or BSD system. You'll need Pideonhole and FTS Flatcurve as extensions.

When you install fetchmail, you can let it connect to all your IMAP or POP3 servers. Each process will deliver your mail instantly to your own Dovecot server.

You'll also need a certificate for Dovecot. This can be solved using Letsencrypt.

You can use any mail client you want. I use Fairemail on Android. On desktop and notebooks it's Thunderbird.

So when you login all your inboxes show up under one account and you don't have to login multiple?

With an IMAP server you have the power to serve your own emails. fetchmail will deliver them constantly to this place. You have all emails in one place and you login just to your own server.
