setting sent and received date/times

[Peter Tanner]

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the Sent
and/or Received date/time of messages in *.pst files
(Outlook 2000). Sometimes I receive messages with either
of these showing as "None", so when sorting by the
respective column, these messages are not placed in the
correct sequence. Also importing messages from Oulook
Express 5.5 resulted in many messages getting "None" for
the Received date/time.

Thanks for your reply Eric. Shame about the readonly
properties.

Is the format of .pst files available? Given that one
sould be able to "fix" the date/times.

Regards,
Peter

You *can* set these props using Extended MAPI/CDO 1.21/Redemption, but not
using Outlook Object Model. You will need PR_CLIENT_SUBMIT_TIME and
PR_MESSAGE_DELIVERY_TIME props. You will *not* be able to set
PR_CREATION_TIME and PR_LAST_MODIFICATION_TIME props - these are true
read-only properties.
