I already own my own domain name, and have an SMTP server sitting a 
couple feet
away.  I could set up a web mail server on that, but there's really 
nothing wrong with
that end of things.  I have reasons to be VERY leery of free services 
that offer to store
all your proprietary data on their server.

The advantage of doing it on your own server is then your email address 
never needs to
change, even when changing ISPs.

Google?  For what?  For searching for how to fix problems in software?  
Yes, I can quickly find articles by the developers, and others who are 
having the same problem.  There seem to be a LOT of us, probably 
thousands.  Most of them seem to have VERY large mail files or use 
newsgroups with large numbers of messages.  (My news service goes back 
to 2003, and has 600,000 messages on Rec.Crafts.Metalworking!)
