Used to, for both home and work, for about 10 years. Still have a 
'server' at home to pool mail from local hosts and get it out to a 
'real' mail server, but now all of the heavy lifting is done at/by 
bluehost.com. The ONLY things I really miss are nightly tarballs of my 
mailboxes, pine (don't judge), and some more coplex filtering/scripting 
I CAN do with bluehost, but not as easily.

Generally set up exim on new machines. My old servers ran sendmail 
because I knew it pretty well and if it ain't broke . . . POP and IMAP 
were both options. I have everyone at work set up for IMAP w/ bluehost 
now (mostly using Thunderbird/IceDove or in rare cases, SquirrelMail web 
client on the client end).

I have a couple gmail accounts so I can use other google features, but 
it is by no means my main mail provider.

HTH.
