wrong dates on importing to outlook 2003

S

I recently went through the process of upgrading my mail client from
Netscape 3 to Outlook 2003. I first imported all my messages to Outlook
Express 6 since it has the ability to import from Netscape 3. Everything
went fine. Then I imported from Outlook Express 6 to OL2003. Everything
worked fine EXCEPT most of the messages that I sent were re-dated to the date
they were imported instead of the date I actually sent them. This is very
annoying. Is this a known problem? How can I fix this? The wierd thing is
that if I actually double-click and bring up the message it has the correct
date, just not in the preview/subject pane. Help!

Try Exporting from Outlook Express instead, it preserves mail details like
dates better then Outlook's Import function does,
