The fact that they're Russian, as you say, "may or may not matter" depending on your threat model. Whatever reason you have for not using Gmail, etc. may also apply to Yandex. It's worth noting that webmail providers probably aren't going to show a lot of ads to you if you just use it for the odd online purchase. And if you're worried about intelligence agencies, note that they can easily check with your credit card provider or with the shop themselves. But perhaps you have a different reason for wanting to avoid the main webmail providers. Running your own mail server is fun but not the easiest thing to do. I wouldn't recommend it, especially not for this particular use case, but if you like to spend some time learning how mail servers work, perhaps this is what you want to go for. Martijn.
