Use which ever one meets the requirements for your application. Since we would have no idea what your requirements are.....

my application requirements are same like yahoo, hotmail etc

And that means absolutely nothing. "like yahoo" and "like hotmail" are not program requirements.

am confused whether to use local or service based database for my application?

Okay.... if you need local database storage, then use a local database. If you need a client-server type of database, then use a database server.

Databases and emails aren't necessarily synonymous: you don't need a database in order to write an application that can send and receive emails.

So use what is appropriate and available.
If you want this to be multiuser, then use a multiuser system: MsSql or MySql.
If this is going to be single user only, then SqlCE, SqLite or even Access.
Or you could just use a file-based approach and store emails as individual files in a folder structure - it's entirely up to you, what you are familiar with, what you have available on your client system, and that fits with the rest of your application.

There is no "single right answer" to this.
