Outlook 2003 empty archive folders

[Guest]

Hi All,

I exported all my emails from outlook express to outlook 2003. Then I tried
to archive all the emails on a yearly basis.

To my surprise all the folders in the archive were empty. Can anyone explain
to me
why is this happening?

Thanks

When the items where exported from OE to Outlook 2003, it doesn't fill out
all of the date fields. Since one of the date fields (Sent, Received, Last
Modified) is empty, the archive engine can't archive it because that empty
date is seen as 1/1/4501.

Thanks for you reply.
I checked the emails "properties" and found out that the Sent and Rec'd
dates are OK however the Modified date has changed to the day I exported my
emails from outlook express to outlook 2003.
It seems that outlook Archive picks up the Modified date and as a result I'm
not able to archive according to Sent/Recd dates.
Do you have an idea how can I change the Modified date? (I have almost
2GB?!). Any other suugestion?
Thaks in advance

I can't think of anything automated. Best bet would be to copy/move the
items to the archive folder manually.
