I also used to run my own home email server, but I found it ate way too much of my free time; also, IMAP isn't really a good solution when you have three or four different devices, and none of the open-source web UIs worked well for me.
Does IMAP with a modern IMAP server like Dovecot work better with multiple devices?
What you describe is definitely the case for the original University of Washington IMAP server (which I am still using). Actually, this server works ok with Pine/Alpine as a client (only one connection allowed at once) but there was an all-out war between Thunderbird and Apple iPad email.
Even the central IT department where I work has come to the same conclusion -- they no longer run their own email servers, but contract out to Google and Microsoft for it.
Google and Microsoft data-mine the emails for their own benefit. I am a independent sort of person so I prefer to mine my own emails.
