No date fields appear when exporting/importing CSV file?

Hello All,

I need to convert some legacy emails from another system to a format
that can be read by Outlook. The preferred format is CSV text, which we
plan to import into Outlook.

I noticed when playing with the export/import that the following seem to
be the standard fields that get exported into an Outlook generated CSV
file:

"Subject",
"Body (text)",
"From: (Name)",
"From: (Address)",
"From: (Type)",
"To:(Name)",
"To: (Address)",
"To: (Type)",
"CC: (Name)",
"CC: (Address)",
"CC: (Type)",
"BCC:(Name)",
"BCC: (Address)",
"BCC: (Type)",
"Billing Information",
"Categories",
"Importance",
"Mileage",
"Sensitivity"

Notice neither the message Sent date or Receive date appears.
I cannot get either date to appear in any test .csv I export.
If I add such a date column to a test .csv file I import, Outlook
simply ignores it, imports everything else, and the Receive or
Send date fields in the destination folder end up with "None".

Can somebody please tell me what I may be doing wrong or missing?

Many thanks in advance.
