Delta Chat is quite good, it's an email client thats built like a messenger app. It's E2EE with Autocrypt lvl 1, you can use it with most email services, and they have a self hostable/hosted "chatmail" service that you can also use if regular email services are slowing down the messages (gmail isn't the best for this). It also supports apps and games in chat using the webXDC standard.

Webxdc is pretty neat. Cheogram & Monocles clients also support it on Android.
