Any ideas/plans for how you will do the migration?

  I don't really care about Gmail 'features' that I will be missing out on, spam detection is probably the thing I'll miss the most, but that's a tradeoff I can live with. Other than that, there's the thing that I need to trust my VM provider, but that much easier than trusting a data mining conglomerate with your private conversations. In the end, self hosting an email server isn't that big of a deal to set up and maintain.

    Spam is really the only reason I haven't switched over to self-hosting at this point. Does anyone know of a good service or method to provide similar spam protection that google provides?

      Spamassassin does quite a good job at spam detection. And you can configure its aggressiveness to fit what you prefer.

    I used to believe that spam detection was the critical component that would be difficult to replace, but going back about a year now I don't believe that's true any more. I've even seen Gmail mark its own address confirmation mails as spam, along with many mails from people I frequently converse with.

    Email isn't private unless it's encrypted :)

      You can always setup block level encryption using dm-crypt/lvm in a Linux VM.
