Assuming by org you mean an employer - this is also a benefit. For legal reasons, you may not want to have a copy of any of those emails anymore, or at least your employer may not want you to.
I try to forward important e-mails to myself if I think I'll need them outside of work (insurance details, etc).
I'm not usually concerned with what the employer does or doesn't want if they've decided they don't want me.

They'll invariably be aware of this.
Your employer doesn't have to know everything about your business with them. They may think they deserve to, but that doesn't necessarily mean it needs to be true for you.
One might argue that this is a bit of deception, but it's also self-preservation of self-interest.
