Enigmail works great, if installed via usual extension mechanism. It's |

just, that the user (or you for them) has to do it once... |

TB3 brings archive support. I don't know if that is what you need, but |

I prefer having all mails stored on the server (used with IMAP) and |

backing that up. Most users I know just forget to make backups/archives. |

Of course if they need a lost mail - you're right - it's work for us :( |
| 28 |
I think dovecot-imap has an automated archiving mechanism too... |
