are stored on a mail server for two weeks, and on your phone once you receive them by opening Status and connecting to the network. To reach you, messages pass over devp2p—the transport layer for Whisper—but are not transported through the Ethereum Virtual Machine. In other words, they are not stored on the blockchain, and they don’t cost anything to send.
>Who hosts the mail servers that store messages?
Whisper requires a special kind of Ethereum node to store and transfer messages. Status is the only instance of Whisper being used in production. Thus, Status hosts a set of these special nodes in order to support its users. However, anyone is able to host a mail server node with the proper hardware. You can find instructions on how to do so here.
