There really isn't enough information here to give you a satisfactory answer. For example, what is the workstation OS, Server OS, do you want to do this manually or automatically, which email client do you use, where are the files located, etc.

If I am right in assuming that you want the emails to be backed up by the server, why not just move them to a suitable location on the server and access them from there?

If you want to take this further, please post back with more information.

If you're using Outlook as a mail client, just tell the users to keep their PST files in their home folders on the server.

Of course, you'll have to watch your disk space on the server. But at least your regular server backups will back up the PST files.
