Vanadium
Privacy and security enhanced releases of Chromium for GrapheneOS. Vanadium provides the WebView and standard user-facing browser on GrapheneOS. It depends on hardening in other GrapheneOS repositories and doesn't include patches not relevant to the build targets used on GrapheneOS.
For a mail app, I would suggest FairEmail – a FOSS and privacy focused mail application with many great fearures. I use it everyday and must say that I’ve never used a better Android mail client than this one. The app is available on F-Droid, PlayStore (which obviously isn’t an option for a FOSS phone) & GitHub, for more info see https://email.faircode.eu
Check out Koler on F-Droid
In order to sync contacts and calendars: DAVx5 (https://www.davx5.com/)
I can understand the OS/theme being custom, I was mainly joking about the device colour. Anyways as an app suggestion I was thinking maybe SeeVault. LineageOS comes with it baked in as a GDrive alternative.
You should consider using the MicroG project to replace Google Play Services. https://microg.org/
Sandboxed Google Play services from GrapheneOS would be far better. They act as a regular app with no greater permissions than a user-installed app.
I know you said you don't really want Chromium but i'm using Vanadium for years and i've been very happy with it: https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Vanadium
