Oh yes, that would be my preferred setup. However, the reason they are 
storing them on a file server is so they can have the emails and all the 
files related to that project in one place.  So they can go to their 
respective drive letter, navigate to the project folder and see all 
spreadsheets, word docs, pdfs, CAD drawings, photos, and emails 
organized in a single folder.  They can also archive projects as a whole 
by just dragging a single folder around.

It's not the way I would have chosen to do it, but it really does work 
nicely.
