Your system administrator hates your guts. You know why? Because you're clogging up the server with every email you ever sent or recieved. Storage costs money. Over-full mailboxes make the mail system more difficult to maintain. They also make it run slower. People with the "never delete anything" attitude seem to think the world revolves around them. Perhaps I will do your system administrator a favor and hack your email password so I can bulk delete all of the crap that you've saved. Always delete email.

Of course, you should always save important information in a place for later retrieval, but this is not related to e-mail communication between two people. Rather I would put a tip about proper quoting (always below the original message) and deleting unnecessary information (signatures!) from your replies.
