Enigmail works great, if installed via usual extension mechanism. It's just, that the user (or you for them) has to do it once...

I don't know if that is what you need, but see for yourself: http://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/Archived+messages I prefer having all mails stored on the server (used with IMAP) and backing that up.
