Let me ask you, do you keep your saving in a mattress? Money is based on trust as well, we don't have a gold standard there either yet the economy doesn't crash because you bounce a check.
Servers have back ups. They will get their email in time but SNAFUs can happen but if you were to store it local and you had a fire, then what? Your screwed.

I don't pay anything to use GMail, but I pay the bank every month just for the privilege of using their services. I agreed to the free GMail terms of service which says they make no guarantee about my mail. I think it's great, but I keep backups of my mail. I thought I'd mention it to save others the heartache.
If there's a fire that destroys my house and Google's servers at the same time then I'm screwed. Otherwise I'll just download it again.
If you use GMail, you should enable POP3 access, and download your mail with a mail client like Outlook, or
Enabling POP
That is if you would care if all was erased...
