I too have my own email server for some years now (7 maybe?). Only had problems when I mis-configured it. I'm frightened as well that google is taking over email. As long as people rely on web based email, there's no hope for actually encrypting email. TLS is nice, but really, it doesn't mean much. Your email is stored plain text on Google's servers anyways.
