Incorrect Date When Messages Imported From Outlook Express (Outlook 2003)

[Bob Horton]

Hi!

I've Googled and searched everywhere for this and can't find anything, so
here goes:

We are switching our small office over from OE to Outlook.

On two machines when the messages were imported some of the dates were
changed to the date they were imported rather than the original date.
Others kept there original date and I can't find any common criteria for
which were switched.

Any insight or leads on where to look would be appreciated.

This is normal. To preserve dates, export them from Outlook Express instead
of importing them with Outlook.

Interesting; it's normal for it to happen on only half the machines and only
half of the messages on those machines. That just seems abnormal to me,
when I used the exact same process on all of them.

As a partial retraction, I checked further on all the user machines. For
anyone who might have an interest, the date changes only happen on messages
"From" the user (e.g.- "Mike" on Mike's machine) but not to all of the
messages from Mike, nor in all of the folders (which led to my earlier
comment). Still seems weird to me. If it's normal, seems like there would
be a warning someplace prominent.
