Is it recommended to set up an own mail server? (alien.top)

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?

I'm running my own mailserver on a VPS for about 4 years. I'm using https://mailinabox.email/ It's a one command installer that installs everything you need for a mailserver to run, including roundcube webmail, nextcloud, DNS server, static html page hosting, and it runs on low resources, I'm using a very cheap VPS server with 1 core and 1GB RAM, I pay 3.79 euros monthly for VPS and it's been running great.

Not sure why this isn't higher. Everyone seems to be talking about the complexity of the stack, but I've also been running MiaB for several years now on a digitalocean droplet with no issues at all.
