When I first started with self hosting an easy, and actually free last I looked, way to get email at your own domain was via ZoHo. Fairly simple way to start. True self hosting of email can be a pretty arcane bunch of work, starting with that most home connections are on the Spamhause ZEN list. So far the easiest have been either with Neth Server or using a dockerized mailcow, one is bulky and rather opaque, but easy totie to a domain, the second is a bit more comprehensive but less user friendly sometimes. Plenty of other ways of course all the way to rolling your own from dovecot/postfix on out if inclined.
