You've gotten lots of good answers. The only other one I'd want to mention is
that you can also host your personal email out of your home server and use an
AWS t2.nano instance to proxy the email in and out. That eliminates storage
charges for those of us with rather large email archives. At $72 for a 3-year
reserved AWS t2.nano instance, the cost is super-low.
The issue with this, is that you no longer have access to email when your ISP
is down. This used not to be a problem, because no ISP meant no internet
anyway, but these days with internet access via your phone, and the usefulness
of email especially when there is an ISP outage, I think it is better to host
outside home.
I live in a place with not-so-good internet connectivity, and I think I would
have a horrible time dealing with all my mail from home over such a connection
(I currently have it all hosted at the house and ssh into the house when I'm
away to run pine, sometimes from my phone/tablet)
I've though about trying to setup the Cyrus replication features so that I would
have a copy both at home and hosted outside, with the two copies syncing
changes. Has anyone done anything along those lines?
