well, i don't. spamassassin works fine. mairix on ssd searches as fast as google. mutt is an excellent reader; it can be used remotely via ssh.
none of this is hard. it doesn't require huge amounts of maintenance. and i own my own data.
before this, when leaving gmail, i looked around for an alternative webmail provider and almost went with runbox http://www.runbox.com/ - they seemed to be the best of the bunch, avoiding many of the issues with gmail (being based in norway). but in the end it seemed easier to just do it myself.
