The storage factor has another dimension to it as well....
Not trying to be morbid but imagine all your emails (over 50 years or so) are on a server somewhere and it comes to your time to move to the next ethereal world!. Half your life story is left for someone else to read/deal with - so think carefully what you put in print unless its for posterity!.
Providers will need to come up with an intelligent way of allowing users to deal with tens of thousands of messages, that or you're going to hit retirement, spend about a year sorting out what you want to keep, or end up deleting the whole lot in which case why did you keep it in the first place!.
Maybe my cynicism will reduce when we increase our storage!.
