Do you want to sort by sent date or received date?

If the problem is the received date is the import date, don't import, export
it from OE to Outlook.

To apply the same view to all folders, see
http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/grouping.htm. modify the fields used for
your specific needs.

One of the annoying "features" of Outlook is that when importing mail from
Outlook Express, the default sort date is the date when the importing took
place, not the original date received. What I would really like to do is
have all mail sorted by the original date SENT. Is there a registry hack
that would allow me to do this? Or at the minimum, allow me to sort all
mail
by original date received.

I know I can go to each folder and set them individually, but when you
have
several dozen folders (or more), this can be a real pain in the . . . !
