If you need documentation of an email for personal or business purposes, you can locate this information with a few simple steps. This includes locating the email address of the recipient, archived messages and even the email's creation date. The process is fairly simple and similar, whether you use Microsoft Outlook or any web-based email.
Log in to your web-based email (i.e., Yahoo, MSN, etc.).
Click on the "sent" folder and locate the email you initially sent to find the creation date.
Select and click the heading labeled, "To," which will organize the emails alphabetically. You will be able to identify the creation date of the email to one sender, if there are multiple emails. If the original email was a reply to the sender, double-click the email and scroll to the bottom to locate the creation date via the sender. This information will be located above the message.
Microsoft Outlook
Double-click the Outlook Express icon to open your email.
Select "Sent Items" on the left column where the folders are listed.
Locate the specific email you are interested in finding the creation date for. If you have multiple emails to the sender you've been corresponding to, you can double-click the most recent email and scroll to the very bottom of the message to find the originating date or continue to Step 4.
Click on "To" (next to "subject) and organize the sender column alphabetically to locate the first correspondence to that specific sender.
Open the message and locate the originating date and time of the email in the gray area between the toolbar and message area.
