In support of your (and my) point: Local storage is now dirt-cheap, small in size, and spacious. Exactly the WRONG time to start turning your data over to someone else to store "in the cloud."

Storage is cheap, but administering a well-secured mail server is difficult. Providing search and spam filtering is even more difficult. There's a reason why people pay others to maintain email servers: it's hard.
