Message Archive Options is a Thunderbird Add-On that adds the ability to customize the date format of the archive folders created by the Thunderbird Archive Message function.
This add-on is the original work of Andrew Williamson and with his permission I will be updating the code for compatibility going forward and possible improvements.
Normal install (requires Internet access) from Thunderbird Add-on site:
- Download and install ATN version via the
Add-ons Manager. - From the Thunderbird Menu Bar, select
ToolsthenAdd-onsto open theAdd-ons Manager. Choose theExtensionstab, search for “Message Archive Options”, select+ Add to Thunderbirdand follow the prompts to install and then restart.
Install (with or without Internet access) XPI directly:
- Download and install GitHub XPI version via the
Add-ons Manager. - From the Thunderbird Menu Bar, select
ToolsthenAdd-onsto open theAdd-ons Manager. Choose theExtensionstab, click the gear icon and chooseInstall Add-on From File… - Choose XPI file, install and restart.
