I may be asking an old question but...
I had a recent hard drive failure. I was able to get the folder structure for my email but not do a proper export. When I import the folder structure over, it puts everything in Stored Folders and all old mail is marked as "read". In the old Outlook Express days, this wasn't the case. As long as you had the proper file, it maintained the folder structure and read/unread flags. Am I doing something wrong? This seems to have gotten worse. I have over 6,000 stored email messages relative to my field of work and I use the read/unread flag with intent. I would really like my email to go back to the proper folder and with the proper flag set. Any thoughts?
