Well, they do in a way -- if you use IMAP from your ISP for example, you don't
need local storage on your email device (not any of mbox, maildir, or
whatever).
(I don't use IMAP (I use POP3), but I assume that if I were using IMAP as
described, I could save emails on my local device, but I'm not clear on that
mechanism / storage method.)
