Import dates not correct

[beickman]

I imported all folders from Outlook Express to Outlook. Some of the display
dates of the email messages from the past are correct. Other more recent
messages show the date of the message as being the day I imported the folders
instead of the original message date. Is there a way to correct this?

Importing from Outlook Express using Outlook will always affect the time
stamps on the items you import. The correct way to copy messages from OE to
Outlook is to export them in Outlook Express (File>Export>Messages). This
will preserve the time stamps.
