Other mail clients are available -- you could run something like 
Thunderbird, but whether it'd be usable on a touch-screen device with no 
keyboard I don't know.

The reason the "Mail app" doesn't store mail locally is probably because 
it is written to be used on a tablet with "one of those MMC things for 
storage" ... i.e. very limited storage space (compared with a "proper 
computer"). It may me possible to configure it to keep a local mail 
cache, though.
