I've tried giving screenshots of phishing emails to a local Qwen instance and so far it always correctly detected it as scam, even points out the exact elements that it based its judgement on. Sending screenshots to it ad-hoc isn't too scalable for family and friends. I'd like to be able to either forward emails for screening, or perhaps have it screen everything from a mailbox.

Has anyone done anything like this? Is there anything self-hostable that does this?

If your email service offers an MCP connection (Google does), you can have your AI connect and examine emails and manipulate them. You can hook that up to qwen using maybe lmstudio. I haven't tried it self-hosted, but it sounds pretty straightforward.
