E-mail has always been decentralized. But if you're looking for a feature-packed server/client, then maybe iRedMail and Roundcube will do?

As for identity service, in its early years OAuth had many service providers. But then the providers don't bother to maintain the service so many sites also stopped using OAuth as login alternative due to unreliabiliy of the feature.

For password saver, KeePass + (sync service of your choice) also works? (Personally, I don't use it)

I didn’t hear about keepass before. Mozilla used to have Firefox lockwise. But then retired it as a standalone service model. It would have been a great replacement to lastpass or Bitwarden. And a great way of entering the oauth service market. The other oauth players attached it to their primary service(s). Deactivate service means deactivation of oauth.

I had not heard of red mail or roundcube either. Mozilla stopped innovation on thunderbird and have now tried to go to thunderbird on mobile. What they sh/could be working on is “thunder nest” aka email server software.
