For now it's OK -- fortunately, I still have the old .MSG files available from pmmail, so I can delete the offending ones (fortunately) and re-import them. That still leaves a rather cumbersome process for when this happens in the future, though. Sigh. I *really* wish TB! would just do the import process properly -- reset the time and date on the converted file to match what it was before the import. It's not hard code to write, so I think there's no good reason not to do so. regards, Scottmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

How is TB! supposed to know what times the messages were received by PMMail when this information isn't in messages upon export. You'd need to sort on the message creation times and not received time, since the received times for imported messages would be the time the messages were imported. Maybe I'm not understanding you. :) -- -=[ Allie ]=- (List Moderator and fellow end-user) PGPKeys: http://key.ac-martin.com Running The Bat! v2.12 Beta/1 on WinXP Pro (SP1) pgpRDlKfoaKak.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
The Bat migration problems
Is there a way to change the created date in a message? I moved from pmmail to thebat and imported my messages. I used to sort by received date/time, but the import process mangles that (any suggestions for that, btw?). Now, I have several message that were sent at various times in the future. g Finally, instead of going to the top message in a group, thebat takes me to somewhere else -- for some folders it's the last message, for some it's somewhere in the middle. Is there a way to reset this? I have poked around the options a lot and not found it.

This is the best way so that no other headers are deleted or altered.
