Microsoft MS DOS/95/98/me: Wrong date when copying from Hotmail folder to local Saved Mail folder

204| Sat, 07 Jun 2008 20:20:00 GMT| leshewitt| Comments (3)
If I copy a message from Outlook Express' Hotmail / Inbox folder into my
local Saved Mail folder it shows up with the wrong date on it. :-S

Does anyone know why and how to fix this?

Regards,

Your current Identity may be damaged, especially if its the default Main
Identity. Try one or more of your accounts in a new Named Identity
(File>Identities>Add new identity). Assuming all is well, import messages
from the old Identity before deleting it (File>Identities>Manage
Identities).

To avoid such corruption in future:

Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual
compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/files/maintain.htm.

Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if
Automatic Compacting is taking place (WinXP SP2 only).

Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause such
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

Many thanks to "PA Bear" for the advice, for which I'm very grateful.

For those of you who, like me, didn't know what the MS MVP and AH-VSOP
acronyms mean I've included these links:

Briefly it all boils down to "This guy knows his stuff... and they know he
does." :-)

Thanks again Robear!
