Hi:

Hoping that someone can help with this problem.

I used to use the 'created date' column to be able to track when I added an
item to a folder. Whenever the item changed folder, the created date would
be reset to the current time. This was an excellent feature that would
allow you to quickly find items that were dropped in the wrong folder
(particularly the deleted items folder).

When I upgraded to outlook 2003, the 'created' date is always the same as
the 'received' date regardless of where the item is moved. What gives? Is
there a setting where I can change this behaviour? Is there another
attribute that displays the information that I'm looking for?

Thanks for any advice.

Use the Modified date instead. That changes when an item is moved. (It
changes for other things, too, like opening the item, just so you're aware.)
