pst dates are weird.

The .pst file's "properties" shows:
a) created date of 29jan04,
b) modified date of 12jan04,
c) accessed date of 2feb04.
Isn't it really wierd to have a created date later the
modified date?
Why is it that my .pst's modified date has not changed
since 12jan04 even though I have received/sent emails
daily.
Probably received 500 emails and sent out 200 emails since
then.
12jan04 is about the time that I switched over from my
company's server to attglobal.net for email.
I had been setup as Corporate/Workgroup until 29jan04.
After 29jan04, I have been running as Internet Mail Only;
even that change has made no difference because the date
still shows 12jan04.
I still backup manually and have to now keep the date
straight by noting backup date via changing the file name.
I hope some one change suggest a fix to get the date to
show what is really happening.
 
You can always try running the Inbox Repair Tool against the .PST to see if
it finds any errors...search your drive for a file called scanpst.exe and
run it. Make sure you let the program back up your .PST before it repairs
anything.
