Is it recommended to set up an own mail server? - eviltoast

Is it useful to have your own mail server as a non-business? Just a private person. Configure SMTP and IMAP for it, sync with outlook I think.

Yay or nay, waste of time? What are your thoughts?

    Unless there’s a strong academic reason, it’s probably more work than it’s worth for the average person. It becomes a vector for attack, and there’s external infrastructure that has to be maintained as well (DNS, SPF, DKIM, etc)
