   You're good.   
      
   I decided to host my everything.  I'm running notqmail with some patches   
   on top.  My phone e-mail checker is K9, which I believe is actually   
   Thunderbird.  But it turns out that now there's the Thunderbird for   
   Android, too.  It looks the same as K9, except that it's blue instead of   
   red.  On the desktop, I run Gnus with an IMAP4 server local.  And it's   
   not over---I also run fdm to fetch my mail from my own server to me   
   locally.  So, yes, it's very complicated.  And I'm not even close to   
   finish because I didn't talk about public-inbox and mailing lists, which   
   is involved with Gnus because it's where I read and write mail.  It's   
   almost a life project.   
      
   But it's fun to do these things *if* you have the free time.
