I like to have control over my correspondence, and I don't want to deal with the constant, pointless redesigns that webmail gets every few years. I want a consistent experience that isn't at the mercy of some random programmer's whims or littered with advertising. I have all my e-mail from the last 20 years, and it's only 848 MiB. I've also had e-mail providers go kaput on me multiple times, and I still have my messages stored locally, because I didn't trust their servers to be online forever.
