I can't quite pin down why exactly, but I've pivoted hard towards self-hosting these past few months. My biggest issue at the moment is finding a Gmail alternative.
My problem with self hosting something like email is that I'm used to not consistently having power/internet, in some cases (Ex:jellyfin) that's not something I care about, but with an email server I worry about missing something becouse I lost connection for a few hours

Email is extremely robust though, servers will try to connect later.
@peveleigh@Doomguy I try to self-host as much as possible but with email I am willing to go with protonmail (and even pay for an upper tier). However I did learn how to set up my own email server on my raspberry pi using citadel which was pretty cool
