I believe first question you need to answer is: what is your threat model?
Are you afraid of losing all your mails (backups)? Losing control over
your email address? What are you going to do if you can't login to
your mailbox tommorow? How much do you mind if someone else gain
access to your old

Problem - as a high school graduate, I don't exactly have a steady source
of income. I could try to find income sources, but I'm not aware of what
cheap VPSs exist.
in the wiki, you can find some vps provider providing arch. check their
prizes, some are below 10€/month.

Aye, but I have the following concerns regarding hosting the server myself:
- Only have one server - no redundancy or reliability
- No source of income - no possibility of VPS AFAIK
- DKIM, PTR, SPF, rDNS all require money and static IP (more money)
Easydns is cheap for spf but charges per
Use cheap vps with static ip, it will be much easier. I doubt anyone
keeps their mail server in home with dynamic ip.
Why should you doubt that, I've read many a blog where that is the case.
A few also block any dsl ip even though there are far better ways of
detecting spamming viruses which

Reading through the responses, I find that my previous evaluation of
my options was correct.
The most reliable and easiest solution, by far, would be to set up a
standard account,
and to download a copy of all emails. The only problems with this are
the lack of control and privacy.
