How do I Customize the Naming Pattern for uploaded emails?

8.1.2+ Email Manager for Outlook

The default naming pattern for uploaded emails can be customized in the MsgFilenameFormat entry in the file LocalSettings.xml. The default value for this setting is {0}_{1:ddMMMyy HH.mm.ss}_{2}.

<LocalSetting>
    <Name>MsgFilenameFormat</Name>
    <Group>Settings</Group>
    <IsLocked>false</IsLocked>
    <IsLocalOnly>false</IsLocalOnly>
    <IsFromCEC>false</IsFromCEC>
    <Type>System.String</Type>
    <Value>{0}_{1:ddMMMyy HH.mm.ss}_{2}</Value>
    <DefaultValue>{0}_{1:ddMMMyy HH.mm.ss}_{2}</DefaultValue>
    <Description>Determines the file name of the email message uploaded and includes the timestamp of upload.</Description>
  </LocalSetting>
