Is it safe to keep Outlook emails in windows folders?

B

Bill Baffin

At work I like to keep all my document types in the same Windows folder tree,
ordered by content rather than type. For example, anything to do with a
specific engineering material is kept in the same folder, regardless of
whether it's a specification in Word or a chart in Excel.
Therefore I'd like to extend this to keeping email messages in the relevant
folder rather than inside Outlook. It's easy to do, as the messages can be
dragged into windows folders.
Is it safe to do this. What are the disadvantages? What special Outlook
functions would I lose (threads etc) by doing this?
