Question
Does my Digitalocean account come with an email server setup?
Im curious if my digitalocean account comes with a preset email server to send and receive emails to/from xxx@mydomain.com. If not, would I need to setup my own server? any tutorials for doing so and securing an email server? any downsides to this?
Currently running ubuntu 14.04 with python3/django/postgres setup

You need to either roll your own email server or use an external SMTP server. If you want an all-in-one package, use the DO tutorial for mail-in-a-box or go to the mail-in-a-box website for a video tutorial. If you want to delve into postfix, use the search box on this page to see links to a few variations. Using Google SMTP? Click here
@speelman90 - Let me amend my previous comment. Your distribution may already have sendmail available, though you may need to customize the configuration. Good luck.
@gndo thanks for the reply, this is helpful info.
