Can we drop a back dated mail

You're referring to sending an email with a past date!

Yes, it is possible to send an email with a backdated timestamp, but it's important to note that the recipient's email client or server may not honor the date you specify. Here are a few ways to do it:

Method 1: Using the "Date" header

You can add a Date header to your email with the desired date and time. For example, if you want to send an email with a date of March 12, 2022, at 10:00 AM, you can add the following header:

Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Method 2: Using a mail client or email service

Some email clients, such as Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird, allow you to set the "Sent" date when composing an email. You can also use email services like Gmail or Outlook.com, which offer a "Send later" feature that allows you to schedule an email to be sent at a specific date and time.

Method 3: Using a third-party service

There are also third-party services, such as Sendinblue or EmailOctopus, that allow you to send emails with a backdated timestamp. These services often provide APIs or web interfaces that enable you to schedule and send emails with custom dates.
