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.
