I use a local email client because I want my email stored locally, not on a remote email server God knows where. If you lose Internet connectivity, whammo, it's all gone. It's a habit I picked up on from my days working for Unca Sam. I don't trust anyone to store my data but me. I guess I'm a bit hardcore in that department.

No offense, not trying to sound snide or rude, but that's my take on that.

Same here. I am a packrat on the computer and can retrieve emails I sent/received from the early 1990s. Cloud storage is only good so long as you keep paying, and free usually changes to paid. I’ve had one service company go bankrupt, losing everything on their servers, luckily nearly all backed up.

I don't use cloud storage. When I bought my iPhone, I was surprised that it had automatic cloud storage. I deleted everything from my cloud, and switched the iPhone so there'd be no cloud storage.
