running a rule -> date change of messages help!

[DHD]

I entered a rule meant to filter out some junk male from certain domains.
Then I clicked on the option to run it immediately (a manual run, I believe
this is called).
Running Outlook 2003 and Windows XP SP2
The dates received on all the mail in my inbox were changed to today's date
as it went through the inbos. I clicked on cancel to stopy this, but I'm
left with dozens of messages from weeks ago that now have today's date on
them.
What did I do wrong?
What can I do to fix it?
My inbox is an IMAP set up, and the original messages on the server are
unchanged; it is only Outlook on my desktop that has changed the dates of old
messages.
thanks for any help you can offer.
Don

since it's only in outlook, close outlook, delete the imap pst and open
outlook- it'll make a new local store and redownload all of the messages.
