email dates missing after import from Outlook Express

I imported my email from Outlook Express to Outlook. All of the
messages imported properly, but the view of them is missing the
creation date on all over about 6 months old.

When I open the mail, the date is available, but only if I open it.

What went wrong & how can I get Outlook to display the message date?

Thanks!

Sorry, the missing date is the "received" date. The view displays
"none". It does display the file size.

I'll get it right yet. I can add the "sent" date as a column in a
custom view however, I can't figure out how to make the change apply
to all folders. I have far too many to do one at a time.

Any ideas?

Thanks

To retain the modified dates you should Export from OE to OL
Importing from OE resets them to the import date
