    You can just use a custom domain at Tuta, Proton, or any of the other email providers until you decide to self-host. Honestly, I don’t think self-hosting is worth it, I value the spam filtering and uptime that major providers offer.

      What happens when you self host email but your home is offline just as someone tries to send you an email?

      Will their mail bounce? Vanish?

        The sending mail server will keep trying for a period of time. Eventually though it will give up and return the email to the sender with an error message.
