Description:  We need to run a Visual Basic script to replace the Received Date with the Sent Date in Microsoft Outlook email. The Received Date is ordinarily a read only field, and has presented some difficulty. We need someone who knows the answer to provide a procedure to change them quickly for thousands of email messages in the Inbox and folders containing past emails.

This problem has arisen after we have imported mail from Eudora Mail client in to Outlook. The Received Date becomes the data that we do the import, such as today's date. The Sent date is correct. We have no need for the email messages to have the date of the import. We want both the Received and Sent date to be the actual date that the email was received or sent from Eudora.

We have run VBA scripts to replace other fields in Outlook, but get a read only error when we try to do that with the Received date.
Employer Questions:  (1) Can you replace the Received Date with the contents of the Sent Date in Outlook?
(2) Can this procedure be run for thousands of email messages quickly?
(3) Can this procedure be delivered in a script or program we can run on any Outlook PST?
