The 'date' property

Read-only, Character Vector

Valid for: GetMail

The date property contains the timestamp of an e-mail, as a character vector. It is a read-only property, and is valid only after you have called the GetMessage method to retrieve the e-mail from the POP3 server.

The date is normally formatted in the form 'Tue, 16 Nov 2004 12:17:40 +0000', where the last part is the offset from Greenwich Mean Time as HHMM.
