Although it's possible to store files in your email account (necessarily as attachments), we strongly discourage this, for several reasons:
It is far more efficient to keep files in your main filestore, which is provided for that very purpose. The email system is provided as an email service, not a file storage facility.
You can store attachments in your file storage area and delete the attachments from the originating emails. This can be done easily in Outlook, see FAQ 1532 or you can use manual archiving to store email, see FAQ 1637 (this stores the email and the attachment on your N drive).
