I have the same issue. I moved a batch of mail to a local folder
(accidentally, I had intended to do a copy, but the right-click drag
forced a move), and then moved the messages back, and viola, all the
messages have the current date and time as received date.

Any way to re-import the messages to sort by the correct received date
would be greatly appreciated.

I use Outlook Express 6 to access messages from a hotmail account. To save
space, I have been transferring emails from the msn-account to a local
folder in Outlook Express. I would now like to transfer my emails back -
from the local folder to the msn-account. When transferred back into the
msn-account are displayed as having been received as per todays date. When
opening an individual email, the correct received date is displayed, but I
need to open them one by one to see the correct received date and time.
How
can I transfer emails back from a local folder to my msn-account and keep
the correct received date? I I have over 5000 messages that now appear
with
the same received date in my Hotmail after having been transferred back
from Outlook - this is causing me headaches and sleepless nights. Anyone?
