  • Web "applications" can be slow and cumbersome, and may not work with all browsers.
  • Some webmail services have size limits, and start bouncing mail when your inbox is full. Regularly downloading and clearing it prevents this.
  • Mail stored locally can be read even when you're not connected to the internet.

That's all I can think of. There's no really pressing reason to change, if you're happy with it.
