Warren Toomey: "my mail is stored locally, not on someone else's server"

What does this mean exactly? Is his machine a mail server?

I used to know an engineer/scientists who only used a single laptop (linux) and it acted as his mail server. When he travelled he used dyndns (or some such thing) so that delayed mail would be delivered to his laptop. Could never get a straight answer about whether this worked all the time or not (whether he ended up missing emails).

Some mail protocols (and clients if you want to) delete the mail on the server when downloaded to the client.

ah like POP?

but presumably the server could unbeknownst to the user, still keep copies of all incoming emails right?
