With a computer based email program such as Outlook or Windows Live Mail that you configure to work for your email address , all your emails are downloaded straight to your computer.
The emails you download, as well as the ones you save, are stored on your hard drive. This means that you can access them whenever you want, whether you're connected to the Internet or not. Again, however, if a computer crash would happen, those emails would be gone forever.
Whether you use a web based or computer based email program is totally up to you. It's just important that you know the differences, then select whichever will work best for your situation.
