Wrong Date

[CWM330]

So, I decided to try IMAP *AGAIN* for the 400th time....
I've been a POP3 user all my life and decided to try IMAP again.

Its SOO MUCH easier than pop3 and having to make daily backups!

But anyways, My problem is:

I copied some emails from my old mail client ( Pandora) to the Fastmail server.
But, all of the emails are showing Sunday, June 25th 2023 instead of the orginal date in 2021!

How do I get Outlook to show the right dates of when the emails were actually sent?

Thanks,
Chris

I assume the date is correct in the reading pane, but not in the message list? You'll need to change the view on the message list - remove the recieved date field and add the sent field.

to the best of my recollection, you cant use VBA to change the value so it shows correctly, but if you zip a few messages up and send them to me, I'll see if I can change the date Outlook is using. My address is diane @ slipstick.com

I added the sent column to Outlook, but they all say NONE.
