GMail is web mail--it's stored on Google servers--not on your local machine

That's right. Gmail does not store anything local unless you've downloaded an email attachment, and then you'll only find that attachment wherever your browser stores downloads. All of the mail you see is on the gmail servers and never actually ends up on your system.

The exception to the rule MAY be if you're using a POP client (Outlook, etc...). I'm not sure if Gmail offers POP functionality, though.

This is probably the longest I've ever had a Windows machine run without having to restore it to scratch. I'm used to restoring to "factory" about every 2 yrs. I've run with Win7 since new in 2009 and only recently (Nov, '14) restored to clean up the machine from all my 'xperimenting. LOL!! I may never need another machine.

Upgraded to 10 when it was still free, then installed 2017 update.

Email client used?

Are you downloading gmail messages using an email client?

If so it depends upon the client used and also if you set it up to use POP3 or imap.
