I’ve figured out how to back up all my work emails on an external hard-drive
(to take home), however, it dumps 3 yrs of emails into one folder.  When I
open the folder all of the emails are listed and organized by the “subject”
and no longer in any type of useful order.  So I have hundreds of emails
clustered together by the title “RE: …” but I can’t tell which ones are
recent and which are 3 years old without clicking on each email.

In attempt to gain a little more order, I created folders for each month of
each year and dumped those emails into the proper folders.  Still, this
requires wasted time hunter for particular emails.  There must be a better
way!

Question:  Is there any way to save all of the emails to the hard-drive with
each file having a name other than the “subject” (e.g., “date”, “sender”, or
even all three)?  If not, is there a more organized way to get 3 yrs of
emails backed up on a hard-drive?  

Thanks!
