The Debian list is currently discussing things like mutt with gmail,

Apparently this bypasses the security problems with gmail in general?
Based on what I recall reading, Gmail requires OAuth2 authorization for
IMAP access. I don't know whether it can be turned off. Apparently, Mutt
can be configured to use it, if necessary, though it's naturally a
little more complicated than user name/password configuration.
Running one's own server definitely has advantages. It's time-consuming
to set up, and more complicated now than it used to be, due to the
various mail authentication standards (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, ARC), and spam
mitigation in general. However, mine has required relatively little
maintenance to keep the e-mail functionality working, and it brings all
the advantages of total administrative control.
