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.
Important notes
- Keep in mind that some email providers or clients may not honor the backdated timestamp, especially if it's a significant amount of time in the past.
- Be cautious when sending emails with backdated timestamps, as it may raise suspicions or be perceived as spam.
- If you're sending an email with a backdated timestamp, make sure to include a clear and concise subject line and body to avoid confusion.
