Figured as much, am doing it as we speak... 8-)

You lost your mails if you drag and dropped them?

I tried selecting a few mails in PMM and bouncing them to myself
(PMM is now set to receive any mails). When they are fetched by OL,
the messages seem to get filtered correctly in there to the right
mailboxes, although I didn't check the dates. I figure I'll do this
manually ayway, bounce the mails according to the year, so they'll
still get into the right mailfolder. At least this is the way I
figure it.

Ah.

I have OL2k here, and it seems to work similarly.
