Grammatically, they function differently. Let's take the phrase "She went home."
Might is a modal verb, which means only the base form of a verb can follow. No conjugations.
"She might go home." (If she's still here and there's a weak possibility that she will go. A guess about the future.)
"She might have gone home." (If she is not here and you really don't know what happened. Still a weak possibility. A guess about the past.)
Possibly and probably come right before the verb.
"She probably went home."
"She possibly went home." (This is a little uncommon.)
Maybe comes before the statement.
"Maybe she went home."
