A large part of the decision are non-technical considerations.  There's
the obvious hardware and staffing costs. But you may also have legal
considerations, such as:

Are you required to keep your data in-house?  Or if you don't have to,
does an external host keep it in a country that's acceptable to you. 
Are you required to keep your data perpetually?  And I'm sure there's a
plethora of other non-tech considerations.

Boilerplate:  All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
There is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see
the messages posted to the mailing list.

Windows, it's enough to make a grown man cry!
