I used to have my own, self-hosted at home on the same computer I used for everything else. It was about learning mostly, I was like 19 years old and had plenty of time on my hands.
If I were to do it now it'll be just to keep my archived mail out of someone else's servers. However, I do trust my current email provider. At the moment I feel like I get much more benefit short and long term by using these people's mail service.
