Solved Windows Mail Dates

zvonko · Dec 15, 2009

I wish to back up my Windows mail for later browsing while deleting the originals. But the backed up mail listing does not display the mailing date but only the backup date. Only when opened the mail reveals the date. When browsing 1000 messages that is not a good way to find the one from a specific date. Is there a way to equip the list of messages as held in the Windows mail with mail dates?
Thanks Zvonko

Hello Zvonko, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Using OPTION FOUR in the tutorial below, you could click on the Dates column name to have that backup folder sorted by the email messages file dates instead. The dates should be when you got them and not when backed up.

Hope this helps,

Hello Shawn,

Thank you so much for your help. The tutorial did not have any Option 4 but
with your encouragement I looked for more sorting options than originally
listed and found what I wanted..
Cheers Zvonko

Sorry about that Zvonko. I posted the wrong link. It should be the one below. I have corrected the other ones.

I'm happy to heat that you got it sorted anyway though.
