I don't believe this method will save the information Stephen wants to save. The MBOX files Entourage creates contain no status information or category assignments, so they can't possibly be retained. And Entourage's "Received" time is the time the message is added to the Database, not the time in the topmost Received header. That's the reason you and Barry were working on that script to reassign the Received time. I don't think that what Stephen is asking for is possible without an AppleScript that saves that information in a secondary export file that can then be read in by another script to assign the values to the newly imported messages. I still have to question the necessity of it all, though... -Remo Del Bello -- "You need to focus on the neglected food groups: The whipped groups, the congealed group, and the chocolotastic." - Dr. Nick Riviera on The Simpsons -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
