MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming VBA / September 2005CreationTime property
The CreationTime property on the MailItem object is not as I would have suspected, ie the date/time that the email was created. The CreationTime is after the sent/received time. I have tried on a number of different inboxes /versions of Outlook and get the same result. Can anyone explain why this is so? It's the time that the Outlook item was created in the recipients folders.

Any ideas what this could be? I also note that if you put back an item into a folder from the deleted items, it gets the date that it was created in the folder. (I dont think this explains the above situation though). The item could have been copied, imported, moved (move is a Delete and a Copy at least some of the time), etc. SignatureSue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx > Sue > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > items, it gets the date that it was created in the folder.

If the CreationTime property is linked to the Windows File CreationTime, then it could be simply that your file has the same name as an old file.
