The mail thing might be related to iOS' feature for Undo Send. When you send an email in the Mail app, it goes into a bit of purgatory and the bottom portion of the screen changes to a temporary "Undo Send" for a few seconds. So it's just delaying sending your message until the Undo period is over, and then it goes. Threw me a bit when that started.
For the rest: it may just be time for a new phone. The SE was good, but the current architecture is better. I missed the home button for a few days, but the bottom-up swipe to get back to the home screen is intuitive and easy to switch to. It helps that so many of the iPhone swipe gestures are easy to remember and acquire into sense-memory.

I know this is way off topic but there are a lot of really smart users
of Apple products on the L so I'm hoping to get some advice. My 2 year
old iPhone SE is starting to act very goofy. Aside from the battery
life starting to diminish, it's developed three annoying problems.
Other than these, I pretty much like the phone.
1) It randomly destroys outgoing emails. I will tap out and send an
email (reply or new), hit send and think it has been sent. The mail
simply disappears. It is not in the "sent" or any other folder, just
gone. I can verify that a message has been sent by looking for it in
the "sent" folder but this problem has resulted in a few embarrassing
situations.
2) The music player will randomly stop, then restart. Sometimes it will
go back to the beginning of the tune it was playing, sometimes it will
pick up where it left off, sometimes it will pick up somewhere else in
whatever was playing, sometimes it goes to something entirely different.
3) When I unlock the phone, random apps will be open. Sometimes the
open apps are ones that I haven't used for months.
I've tried updating and refreshing apps and rebooting the entire phone.
I'm not opposed to buying a new phone. The main reason I went with the
SE is that I like having an actual "Home" button. OTOH, I wouldn't mind
having a slightly larger screen. Any advice? Will I get used to not
having a "home" button if I go to a different phone? Is there any way
to create some sort of a software home button on a newer iPhone? Is it
worth trying to fix the problems with my current phone??? Many Thanks.
