Check out Electrum Personal Server, it's like connecting your Electrum wallet to your own Bitcoin Core node, so you can use all the features of Electrum without the drawbacks of privacy.

Sadly, I myself haven't used it yet, so I can't help you with any questions regarding it, but from the description of this project it sounds like exactly what you might need.

I didn't know Electrum Personal Server existed. It would require running a full node, which is not yet something I'm willing to do, but I'm planing to in the near future. It would be a great combination, as I like Electrum's features and its user interface and running a full node will definitely make Electrum more private and secure. Thank you very much for the hint.
