ID: Q161808

The information in this article applies to:
SUMMARY
When you archive a Mail message folder, Microsoft Outlook 97 determines the
message age from the Sent date/time, the Received date/time, or from the
message's Modified date/time, whichever is later.
MORE INFORMATION
The following actions will change the message's Modified date/time:
- Forwarding
- Replying
- Replying to All
- Editing and Saving
- Moving or Copying
Copying or moving the message to another message folder does not always
change the modification date/time. If the destination folder of the copy or
move action is a Personal Folders file (.pst), the modification date/time
does not change. If the destination folder of the copy or move action is an
Exchange Server Mailbox or an Offline Folders file (.ost), the modification
date/time does change.
To determine the latest modification date/time of a Mail message, follow
these steps:
- On the View menu, click Show Fields.
- In the "Select available fields from" list, click "All Mail fields."
- Under Available Fields, click Modified, and then click Add to place the Modified field in the "Show these fields in this order" list.
- Click Move Up or the Move Down to position the Modified field and click OK.
The modified date/time for each message now appears in the Messages view.
