Does Gofer work with Gmail and Outlook?
Yes, but for now you create your own OAuth client ID and secret for each provider. IMAP and SMTP accounts need no OAuth app, and iCloud works over IMAP with an app-specific password.
Gofer: Self-Hosted Webmail Client
Gofer puts Gmail, Outlook, iCloud and IMAP mail in one self-hosted webmail, with contacts and calendars alongside. You spin it up as a single Go binary or container.

Common questions
Does Gofer need a database server?
No. Mail, contacts and calendar sit in SQLite files under the data directory. The Docker image keeps them in a volume at /data, and release binaries cover Linux, macOS and Windows.
Can my household share one Gofer?
Yes. Managed mode gives each person their own admin account and a separate SQLite database. Personal mode is one protected profile with several mailboxes, and open mode has no login and is meant for local use.
