gmail versus mac mail for organizing clients' emails?

[Ekzapple]

I have hundreds of emails saved in mac mail in folders, one for every client. These are really important to save and protect. Someone at the Apple store recently suggested that using Gmail for all of my clients' emails would be better, but it seems very confusing.

Any suggestions or opinions from others who have the same need to save client emails?

I don't understand how the organization tools for 'folders" works in gmail. it's so simple in mac mail. you just make a new mailbox. poof.

so, advice for gmail dummies on that would also be appreciated.

Saving them to gmail would keep them in the cloud, in case something happened to your Mac. There are other solutions as well.
