Some old emails missing Received Date

[Steen]

I'm using Outlook 2003. I have a huge number of old emails (that I have sent)
where the Received Date is blank. They are presumably from before I migrated
from Outlook Express to Outlook.
The mails I have sent since, contains always a Received Date (almost) equal
to the Sent Date/Time.
Is there a way to repair/update such old mails with a Rec. Date = Sent Date ?

Thanks in advance.

None that I'm aware.

Possibly as a result of importing msgs, rather than exporting from OE to OL
Select the emails and move them to your Archive

Well, to be honest, I cannot remember how I did it back then - in 2003.
But I would probably have followed all recommendations on how-to-do, as this
is my habbit in such affairs.

To me, it seems as it was/is a generel issue with the mails that I did send
out of OE, while those sent from OL always have a Received Date/Time stamp
which is almost equal to the Sent date/Time, which can be seen in Properties.

When you suggest to "move them to your Archive" I assume you're not
suggesting a solution to correct my problem ?

I agree that some of those old mails are eligble for deletion, however, some
are still worth keeping, and it's a bit annoying that I have to include both
Rec. Date and Sent Date fields/columns in the folders where such mails are
present.

Thanks again in advance
