I think you're absolutely right. We've actually been thought by Gmail not to remove messages but instead archive them and that's a good philosophy. I've been on Gmail since 2005 and have about 100,000 messages at 20 GB. There's messages coming in from 25 different addresses at 300/day with 100 being spam. I don't feel like I'm an email power user though, I imagine people in sales do about 100x more than this. It's definitely a requirement to be able to do this and I feel even if we would be outliers, in a couple of years we won't be anymore.
