    Clearing out copies of "deleted" email messages on a regular basis is important for several reasons. Firstly, it helps to free up storage space in your email account, allowing you to receive new messages without any issues.

    Retaining emails by saving them to removable data storage devices is a valid practice. This allows for easy access to emails even if the original device or server is no longer available.

    Explanation
    When an email is saved in another format, such as being downloaded and saved as a file on a computer, it is no longer necessary to keep the email in an "active" mail folder. This means that once it has been saved in another format, it can be removed from the inbox or any other mail folder without any obligation to retain it.
