Apologies to those who consider this a dumb question.......IMAP mail that can be accessed via IMAPS or HTTPS web mail is ample enough reason for me to do it....
I can think of two reasons why one would set up an email server at home.
1/ Mail is readily "served" to workstations from an always on server 2/ Mail can be accessed elsewhere without using "webmail"
Neither of these reasons are compelling enough for me but I am curious to know if others have compelling arguments.
