That isn't difficult to manage though, unless you consider running any server to be insecure. Use your distribution's MTA package and turn on automatic security updates. Done.

Isn't a web browser that has access to your gmail inbox just as juicy as your self-hosted imap server? I don't really see why a "server" would somehow be inherently a more interesting target. Google's servers, sure, they give you acess to billions of mailboxes, but your own private email server?
