How do I configure Thunderbird so the filenames for saved emails start with the date?

Thunderbird Inställningar

Hi, I'm trying to back up an old Yahoo email account, everything is working fine except that the filenames on all of the *.eml files start with the subject of the email. I'm trying to save these such that the date and time is first, so I can easily sort these by date in Explorer by simply sorting by filename. eM Client does this, but I've had a horrible time trying to get it to simply save all of the emails in a folder without skipping a large percentage, while Thunderbird has been great at not missing any emails when saving.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks

Hi, I tried this several times, unfortunately each time it gets to several hundred messages, then Thunderbird locks up and I need to close it via task manager.

Thanks, I was able to get it to work after a series of attempts, apparently the add-on doesn't like downloading thousands of messages.

It might help to decrease the maximum number of concurrent connections under Tools -> Account Settings -> [account] -> Server Settings -> Advanced -> Maximum number of server connections to cache.
