Therefore it's a good idea to have your own domain - this makes you
independent from ISPs and many hosters also offer secure access to
smtp/pop3/imap.

The next level would be your own server - virtual root servers are not
that expensive today (starting at about 5 EUR per month) and powerful
enough to handle e-mail. Combined with tools like Plesk, CPanel or
ISPConfig it is even possible to handle without deep knowledge of Linux.
