Yep. That's what I do. All of my mail is stored right here at home.

Indeed. I've used those products, and they work reasonably well. Apple's
Mavericks Server also has built-in support for running your own mail
service. And of course, you can roll your own with all of the same or
similar components, if desired. I've done all of the above, and am
currently using Mavericks Server. Like other solutions, it works
reasonably well, but has its own issues.
