I keep everything on my Mac — everything I want to save, that is, not the daily/weekly ads stuff, dreck, junk, spam & suchlike. I have reams (years) of archives — over 1 GB of material, dating back to 1998 — I don't want to carry around & use mobile-storage for.

I do all this using IMAP.
I have used IMAP for 6 years, since I first got an iPhone and decided I wanted to be able easily to access my mail on the iPhone as well as the Mac.
I could easily have set my mail up so that ONLY mail dated, say, within the last week, or the last month, appears as "current" mail, and *everything* else would be archived on my Mac, and accessible only on my Mac.
Good mail software is very flexible and adaptable.
