Outlook doesn't have, regretably. The "Mail" application i OSX,
however, does (joy!).  I still think it's a bad idea, an opinion which
many around me seem to share. File serving is one thing, but if mail
gets lost, it's a major problem. I haven't tried this "live", due to
the fear of losing mail if AFS goes down and the mailserver can't
handle it.
