I can report that Geary works fine on Plasma Mobile. And of course, it is expected to work on Phosh, for which (along with desktop GNOME) it is developed. So if it really fails on Ubuntu Touch, that sounds like a bug in Ubuntu Touch.
Last time I tried was over a year ago. Ubuntu Touch does not work like all other linux mobile os.
In Ubuntu Touch there is read-only filesystem - aka. if you do use for example "apt update && apt upgrade" you will breake your UT. Ubuntu Touch is also currently based on very old 16.04 Xenial.
Official way to install apps to Ubuntu Touch is trough Open Store and if the apps is not there you don't have any "recommendet/supported way" to install it.
There is option called Libertine which creates kind of sandboxed os inside your Ubuntu Touch and it is kind of officially supported but it has not been actually developed for a long long time and most apps wont even launch even if you install them correctly. Things might change when move to 20.04 is ready.
So it is sort of bug in Ubuntu Touch but also sort of choice of Ubuntu Touch. Aka. core idea of Ubuntu Touch is not "install everything you want and tweak them to work" it is "works out of the box but some things are limited to gain more stability"
