How do I change the sent date of an imported message?

[Guest]

I imported personal folders from Outlook Express to Outlook and some of my
sent messages now show the import date as the received date. Some sent
messages still show the sent date as the received date. How do I reset the
received dates of sent messages to the actual sent date?

Don't think you can.
You should have *exported* from OE to Outlook instead of importing from
Outlook - that method doesn't mess up your dates, etc. Is it too late to do
this over again?

You can't reset the dates. Importing messages from Outlook Express using
Outlook will reset the time stamp for all imported messages to the time of
import. To preserve time stamps, you must export to Outlook from within
Outlook Express.
