Does it take up hard drive space when you store too many e-mails in your inbox or folders?

I've got lots of saved stuff in folders I've created on my e-mail page and just wondered if it would slow down my computer by keeping them there, or if deleting them will free up more space on my hard drive. Please, only serious answers. I'm still kind of in the dark about a lot of computer stuff. Thank you. <*)))><
