Why are the dates or times on some E-Mail messages incorrect?
The date and time stamp on an E-Mail message are not determined by the mail server that the mail is delivered from. Instead, it comes from the time and date that is set on the computer of the person composing the mail. As such, a person’s machine may have the time or date set incorrectly, and that will be carried over into their messages. Put simply, the time and date information in E-Mail should not be necessarily considered accurate.
