1. How much trouble and expense are you willing to deal with?

The ultimate in secure from snooping for email is to host your own. Many NAS (network attached storage) devices have apps that can host an email server.

I have an older version of this: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822108624
The base unit is about $300 then add what you can afford in HDDs. I've been using these: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAAEE3XE0745&Description=wd2000fyps&cm_re=wd2000fyps-_-22-136-365-_-Product

I use them for backup and some other tasks. I'm kind of a control freak.
I don't run the email package but it's there. If your a tech hobbyist, that might be for you.
