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 work in IT or similar these concepts may become important, and that makes the effort worth it to me. Otherwise, I agree with the other commenters.

Here's an entertaining lecture that summarizes how terrible modern email is.
