    Not sure yet. ProtonMail doesn't work offline either and is apparently not straightforward to use with other clients. I wish it were sensible to host your own email, but I've heard that's a horrible misadventure.

A different client is definitely the fallback, though I haven't found a great one of those either. Granted it's been ~6 years since I last searched. Open to suggestions!
