Kindly help me with information, i want to know if one can send or
receive mail in back date or time format, meaning the mail date or
time is received in back date or time then the actual date or time
received. Is it possible to do this, or can it be done.

Yes, it can.
Your e-mail client uses the PC's internal clock to time-stamp when the
message was created.
I don't think this is particularly ethical to practise - but it can be
done.

John after reading your answer I just can't stop my laugh.
Brother use some common sense that Google has it server through which
it sends mails.
Is your computer a Google server (lolz)?
Dear VJM
even I'm searching for what you are asking.
Google played a prank last year on April Fool's day by saying
everybody that they are providing new feature "Set Custom Time" which
wasn't real.
And secondly they are masters of Search Engine Optimization so all
over their search portal its featuring that feature only. As soon as I
find some I will let you know.

John's right though. As far as I know, Gmail uses your local
computer's time to stamp the messages, not the server time. If you
change your local date/time, it will change when the message appears
to have been sent.
I also agree with him that there are few situations where this is
honest and ethical.

Dude, if u dont mind that plz send a mail to ur frend or rather me @
abhijee...@gmail.com with changing the time. lets see.. I'm so
confident coz i tried it long back and it didnt worked.
So always try and do it before suggesting to somebody else.
Practical talking, header of the mail will be changed where the
Google's mail server is, and that time will be always correct.

You're right that the headers will contain proper timestamps from the
servers along the way, but when a message is displayed, and the
headers that are used for reply (as in below) are all generated from
the sending computer.
You can demonstrate this yourself by just changing your local clock,
then clear your cache so your GMail is fresh, and send a message to
yourself only. It won't come into the Inbox, but when you look in
Sent Mail it will have the time your computer has on it.
