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?

    If you want to do it for fun and learning, ok I guess.

    But nobody really does it anymore.

    For actual mail that I would use, just go with a mainstream provider.

    If you want to actually learn real-world skills, get yourself your own 365 tenant with a single license. Well worth the spend (or free if you can get a partner license).

      Don’t mean to be dense, but how does one do this? I tried googling this, but kept getting hits on single versus multi-tenant licensing.
