Default Fix received dates on items after importing from Outlook Express

After importing mail items from Outlook Express, some (but not all) of the
items have an incorrect received date. It seems to affect only the items
that were forwarded. The received date/time shown on these items is now the
date/time that they were imported.

I thought I could use VBA to manually edit the received time, but this
property seems to be read only. Is there any way to do this?

No, you can't change it. Outlook stamps that field with the date/time when
it is essentially first created in your Inbox. You'd probably want to use
the Sent date/time in your views for these imported e-mails.
