XFOR: Posted Dates Incorrect After Migrating cc:Mail DB6 Bulletin Board (193735)

SYMPTOMS

When you import bulletin board information from Lotus cc:Mail (DB6) to Microsoft Exchange Server and then view the messages in the resulting public folder, some of the posted dates on the messages may be incorrect. The posted date may be the date the migration was performed, instead of the date the message was originally posted to the bulletin board.

For example, if the message was originally posted on January 1, 2001, and you perform the migration on July 1, 2002, the posted date on the message appears as "7/1/02" (without quotation marks) instead of "1/1/01." This problem is not likely to occur before the year 2000.
