Obviously can't store attachments by their filename at the VFS level  
since 1.) there may not be a filename (uploaded attachments may not  
have filename) and 2.) duplicate filenames can exist.

This setting no longer exists (as of IMP 6.2).

You can use the horde-vfs script distributed with the Horde_Vfs package.
