This seems odd, as the limit on pst size is about 2GB.
If you export to a pst file, the dates will be saved. The procedure is
the same as you outlined below, just select pst instaed of csv.
You may also wish to look in the help file at "Compacting", which will
reduce the size of the pst file. See "Auto Archive" as well.
MS makes an automated backup tool, located on the file menu, or you can
dwonload it at:
