Seems like an IMAP Server locally run could defray the entire expense of
personal email servers. For business where it’s likely necessary on a
company/private server that wouldn’t be an option.
For me, iCloud accounts are included with other services so there’s no
financial incentive. My message counts/sizes are entirely within the
scope other storage plan. However I do manage the storage of archival
data by year and keep two years only current and previous years data on
line per account.
Respectfully,
Henry

The secure way would be to run a real IMAP server on your machine,

running [Dovecot](https://www.dovecot.org/) in a container should
work.
I have done this for many years. If you are comfortable with running
your own services it works really well.
Here is an old, but updated, post on how to set it up on macOS. I'm
running this setup on macOS Monterey 12.2 at the moment.

A simpler approach might be to buy a copy of MailServe.
