How To Edit the Modified Date To Allow Complete Archiving

J

Jay

A few months ago we introduced a new tool for Outlook but we've not yet
announced it at user groups (although we've seen it discussed a few times at
different forums). It's our understanding that it's okay to tout one's own
product here so long as it's a product which can be helpful to Outlook
users. As our product brings to Outlook users a capability they've never
before had we believe it's appropriate to make brief mention of it; we hope
you agree.

Our product is called ArchiveAssistT and it allows Outlook users, for the
first time, to edit the Modified Date of email messages. The Modified Date
of a message is the date which governs in the case of archiving and it can
vary radically from the original Received Date or Sent Date of an email. If
you reply to, forward, edit, save, copy, or import a message, its Modified
Date will become the date of that operation, even if the original message is
years old.

If you've ever tried to archive and found that the archiving operation
didn't do what you expected it to do, it could well be that Modified Dates
are the problem. Many people have never heard of the Modified Date; it
doesn't display by default, but you can cause it to display as a Custom
Field (right-click at the top of your message list and select "Custom..."
and then "Fields") to see if there's a conflict between the actual date of
an email and its Modified Date.

You can see complete information on ArchiveAssist, and download a fully
functional 30-day trial of the program, at http://www.cardiffsoft.com

Please note that ArchiveAssist is designed to edit Modified Dates in .pst
files and that it does not work on mailboxes in an Exchange Server
environment.

Thank you very much for your indulgence...
