The utility was custom-built for my system. It has various hard-coded assumptions in it that may not work for others. It doesn't make sense for me to share it. How about trying rentacoder.com or elance? It should be a short piece of MAPI work. Tim, heard back from MS. The utility was custom-built for my system.

It wouldn't matter if I had sent and received emails in separate folders because I could just view the sent date field for the send folder and the received date for everything else. However, I've previously relied on the fact the the received date was set to the same as the sent date so for archiving, I mixed my send and receive folders together into one archive folder per year. Sorting by received date put everything into order. Now, after the import from outlook express to Outlook PST files, the received dates were all set to the date of that import - so my archive folder can no longer be sensibly sorted. I've been searching for a long time for a utility (none of the fix pst files seem to have this feature) that could set the received date on selected emails back to the same as the sent date. I've just read your article where you mentioned that you managed to get such a utility from MS. I've love to get a copy! Could you please let me know the name of that util and if possible send a copy if the license permits ? Many thanks Tim Hi Simeon
