Actually if you download your mail from Gmail automatically via IMAP, you can have a locally available copy of all your mail. In fact if Gmail is set to allow you to work offline, you also can have a locally available copy of all your email via your browser hopefully set to access Google via https.
Ditto for Apple Mail, Thunderbird, and many others. My main concern is that email storage be in a robust format that does not put everything in one huge file. These formats are especially sweet to use in conjunction with Time Machine backup. You never have to worry about lost mail. The only seriously wrong email client is Microsoft's Outlook/Entourage which persists in using PST. Just a stupid way to do it. Bad engineering.
