Server? No idea. Client? Thunderbird FTW.

Have you searched the Google Play store, or F-droid?

I would think that the phone or tablet would have to be rooted, and maybe Linux installed.

I hope not

Do you actually want a server, or a client? What do you want to do on Android?

I just want to install a Linux based email on an Android system/smartphone, that's it
I'm really not that expert, I thought Gmail, Hotmail, proton and so on were servers

I don't want to install Linux in my Android, in this smartphone doesn't worth it
I will im a more advanced smartphone but not in this one

I have it installed on my Android phone, all you have to do is install it from the Google Play store and install. Then setup an account for whatever mail provider you are using.

Moved to General Computing because Android is not Linux.

Thunderbird asked me for an email address already existent, it doesn't allow me to create a new one
Should I give my proton email address ?

You can't create a new account from the client, you need to do that on the Gmail or Protonmail website if you want to create a new account and otherwise login with an existing account.
