Google Wave not only offer new ways to communicate and collaborate via the Internet, but also shows a clear paradigm, that the data is located on the server side.
This is in contrast to the users emaol client software such as thunderbird or outlook, which has a paradigm that every email message / instant message stored on the client side. Despite leaving messages on the server is the option to choose from.
Likewise for Yahoo! messenger which provides an option to save the archive the entire conversation on the client side. Slightly different is the instant messaging software from google, the google talk (Gtalk). Gtalk have the option to save chat directed at the media Gmail account (server) and not on local storage media or your computer.
