Thanks for the tip. I have always used export in OE too. I did not realize
that import from Outlook would reset the dates. Of course this is not
desirable, so the import approach should be avoided for mail items.

You can also import your mail,

No do NOT import mail within Outlook. many Outlook functions depend on the
"modified date" of messages. If you import within Outlook then all the
messages will have their modified date changed to that of the date of
import.

In Outlook Express, do File-Export. That keeps the dates original.
