Archive messages in file system

I'm used to archive all the mail messages in the file system, to keep the
relationship between the mail body and data and the attachments.
When the subject of the message is the same, I'm obliged to cancel the
saving, enter in the file system and modify the name of the previous messages.
Why to not make this automatically?
i.e.: with the subject "Something", if in the folder there isn't any file
called Something.msg, outlook will save with this name, otherwise it will
save the message naming it Something(1).msg, Something(2).msg, etc...

Furthermore, for the same issue, I would like to have the date and time of
the .msg file equal to time and date of the received message, and not time
and date of the moment I save the message.

Thank you

Well, you may be used to it, but I think it really sounds like the wrong
tool for the job.
The attributes you are looking for are handled better within the database of
a .pst or other more formal archive method.

But many people do what you are doing and are probably feeling the same
pain. There are even addons to handle such archiving like
http://www.msgsave.com. Maybe better management of process can be seen with
such a product (including naming conventions).

I can't see amending the file system dates to match message dates.
