I gather that running your own e-mail server is horrible unless you want to spend your life running the server.
Running a mail server is not hard at all. Setting it up is the annoying part as it requires you to know a bit about how email works and how all the different services are tied together. If you are a technical person then you would probably be able to research how email works and set it up in a couple of days.
Email is not exactly something new with a lot of innovation, so once it's set up you'll likely be good for quite some time(until the OS is EOL).
The hard part is not setting up your own email server. It is ensuring delivery. There are many instances where even if you have configured everything correctly, your email will still end up in spam. Outlook is even worse in that certain emails sent to outlook will get dropped and not even end up in spam.
