As in this picture, l don't want to remain a sender/recipient, but an address in itself. So that l can house multiple senders/recipients.

Would that be possible ?

You can run your own mail server. I generally don't recommend it, it's a pain.

You can also host your own domain at somewhere like proton mail, so you have your own @whatever.com

    I'm thinking in terms of a mail server. Do you suppose a machine like this would serve the purpose ?

    There is no need for a monitor or graphics card. What kind of processor and memory you need depends on the amount of users you plan to be serving, but if it's just you and some friends or family I'd say a raspberry pi or clone should be more than enough.

    The person you're replying to is right though, administering your own email server is a pain as you have very little control over which IP address your ISP assigns you and therefore no control over its reputation and chance to end up on spam lists. Also you need to be very aware of security issues in order to prevent your server being used to send out spam. It's not something I'd recommend to someone who has no experience administering other servers.
