Nope. Once you get a message, what happens to it is up to you,
and your ISP's rules. DO be aware that some, like perhaps
Hotmail, have rules about how long they keep email, or what
happens if you collect too much. That's one of the many reasons
I DIScourage using free accounts for anything important.
Thanks for asking,
