We don't WANT people downloading to local folders where I work. Local
harddrives are not backed up; server harddrives are. So if all your mail
(including vital, confidential attachments, etc) is on your local drive, and
it dies ... well, life is tough. We can't be backing up every users
harddrive - even if it's only certain files on a harddrive.

Servers, of course, are a different story.
