I haven't looked at the revelations in detail, but I don't think they're recording copies of every e-mail they intercept to anyone. If your account is already of interest to them, they're probably watching your e-mails, but if they take an interest in it 10 years in the future, that's when they go to GMail and grab all your past e-mails. So storing your e-mails on a computer you control probably still has some effect for most of us.
