missing messages in inbox after import from outlook express

M

Merrick

I upgraded to Office 2007 and want to use Outlook. Previously I was using
Outlook Expres. I did the import into Outlook and all my emails, folders,
sent, deleted, etc came over, except that I have a problem in the inbox:
I have 3 days worth of inbox messages, and then it skips almost 2 full
months of inbox messages. The entire folder is sorted by 'received'. The
format that I see the messages is:
Date: Today
--4 messages received today--
Date: Yesterday
--accurate - these were received yesterday--
Date: Wednesday
--accurate - I have a bunch of email received wednesday--
Date: Older
--the messages here are from 2 months ago and older. what I am missing is
everything more recent than these--

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Instead of importing from Outlook Express, try exporting FROM Outlook
Express TO Outlook 2007; OE's export function works much better, plus it
retains the original dates in the messages.
