If you want to have users data stored on the server a better option would be to setup Active Directory with Roaming Profiles and Home Drives. This way so long as people use the home drive all their data will be saved on the server (or NAS if you have one) and by using Roaming Profiles even if they save stuff under "My Documents" it will still be saved on the server.

Having people use the email and app server for their normal work so that their data will be saved on it is just WRONG.
