You're going to have to write code whichever way you decide to deal with this (if at all).
You could write code that fixes it once in Exchange using any number of interfaces to read the smtp header, then update the received date. You could do a two step migration and write code that parsed through the IFF format files and grabbed the received date off the item body (not the message body, rather the smtp header which is stored in the "body" portion of the .SEC file of the IFF set) and restamp the header in the .PRI file. You could probably come up with other ways to skin the cat too. Read the items into a PST from the IMAP server, then use exmerge to migrate the data into a mailbox, or drag&drop to get it into public folders. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Glenn Corbett Posted At: Wednesday, April 21, 2004 5:21 PM Posted To: Microsoft Exchange Conversation: Migrated Mail dates incorrect Subject: RE: Migrated Mail dates incorrect Thanks Andy. *sigh* not quite what I wanted to hear, but been playing since I posted the message, and looks like this might be the only way to do it (if its even possible).
