That's ofcourse the best solution.
But YOU have to make it secure and private. If you're not able to do
this yourself, then your best option is to choose a strong password and
change it often. Also you have to trust the machine and the browser
you're login in from, to be "clean" and secure. So no logins from your
friend's (hacker wannabe) laptop.

a) you have to trust their process of key-gen and login (they are able
to get in the way if they want)
b) you have to trust them that their servers are secure in order for
your mail to be private. If they 're hacked then a fake login.php can be
installed that sends your password to the attacker when you login.
Tampered imap server can also do that.
Besides that, ECC with 521bits for the messages is quite paranoid :)

The only issue I have with running my own mail server is that I can receive e-mails, but for whatever reason I cannot send out e-mails. I'm assuming it's because mail servers are denying e-mails from my IP or something since I'm on a residential connection. It doesn't even reach the Spam box, just doesn't show up at all even though a test with telnet says the mail was successfully sent out.

Gmail is NOT secure OR private.
I don't expect hotmail, yahoo, etc. to be so either.
Also, a few times hotmail released new versions of their web interface,
they only worked for IE for about a week or two.
As long as you don't own and control the mail server, someone else has
physical access to it; hence it's not really secure.
Personally, I run my own mail server on a VPS I rent (to ARP Network, by
the way). Not the BEST of choices, but I sure trust them more ...

I believe it's an issue with DNS records. If I recall correctly, you need to ask your ISP to change some DNS records. I don't recall what needs to be done, perhaps somebody else can clarify this.
At the risk of sounding like an advertisement, dyndns.com's "outbound mailhop" service gives you an SMTP server you can send email from: it's the one I use and I've so far had no problems sending email.
