All emails showing the migration date instead of the original? Redate.io restores correct dates automatically.
After migrating to Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or another provider, your email client shows the migration date on every message. Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird - they all display the wrong received date. Sorting by date becomes useless.
Common after migrations with BitTitan, CloudM, imapsync, GSMMO, or Exchange IMAP import
Most people want to fix dates for organization. But incorrect timestamps create real problems that go far beyond a messy inbox.
Courts and tribunals rely on email timestamps to establish timelines. An email showing the migration date instead of the actual date cannot serve as proof of when a message was sent or received. In a contract dispute, employment case, or intellectual property claim, this can undermine your entire position.
Tax authorities may request emails as supporting documents during an audit. If your invoices, receipts, and exchanges all show the same migration date, you cannot demonstrate the correct timeline. A screenshot of an email with the wrong date has no probative value.
Regulations like SOX, HIPAA, FINRA, and GDPR require accurate records with intact metadata. The GDPR explicitly mandates that personal data be kept accurate and up to date. Incorrect email dates can mean failing a compliance audit.
Insurance claims often depend on proving that a notification, declaration, or communication happened within a specific deadline. If all your emails show the migration date, you cannot prove timely communication, and the claim may be denied.
No technical skills required. Redate handles everything automatically.
Link your Google Workspace, Microsoft or IMAP mailbox. Microsoft takes a single sign-in with your own account. Google Workspace takes a 5-minute admin setup, with a step-by-step guide.
Redate scans your mailbox and identifies every email with a wrong date. See the exact count and price before paying anything. Redate then fixes 10 of those emails for free, so you can check the result in your email client before paying.
Redate fixes each email's date, verifies it, and keeps the original in a visible folder of your own mailbox. Redate never deletes it.
Whether the migration was to Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Outlook.com, or any IMAP server, Redate.io fixes the dates.

Redate never reads the content of your emails. The correction process only modifies date information, without accessing the text of your messages.
Redate copies each email exactly as it is to give it back its original date. The text, attachments, and content of your messages are never read, never stored, never transmitted.
Before fixing, each original email is moved to a visible "Redate.io - Originals" folder in your mailbox. Redate never deletes it: it stays there until you remove it yourself. To undo a fix, contact Redate.

If hundreds or thousands of your emails suddenly display the same received date, your mailbox was almost certainly migrated to a new email system. Your IT department or hosting provider may have moved your emails to Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or another server without informing you. During the migration, every email was copied into the new mailbox, and the date of that copy is what your email client (Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird) now shows as the received date. This is not an Outlook bug and not a corrupted file: the original date is still inside every email, it's just no longer the one on display. Rebuilding the Outlook index or running SCANPST will not fix it. Redate.io restores the original dates automatically.
Migration tools (BitTitan, CloudM, imapsync, GSMMO) copy every email on the same day. Each copy gets information dated that day, and email clients like Outlook show that date instead of the original send date.
Yes. Redate.io fixes email dates even months or years after the migration. The original date is still in every email's 'Date' header: Redate removes the traces the migration left and gives each email back its original date.
Zero data loss is guaranteed. Redate verifies every fixed email against the original before completing the process. The original emails are kept untouched in a visible "Redate.io - Originals" folder in your mailbox. Redate never deletes them: they stay until you remove them yourself.
It depends on the size of the mailbox and on the email provider. During the fix, Redate shows the progress live, you can close the page, and Redate emails you when it's done.
Outlook shows as the received date the moment the email arrived in the mailbox. After a migration, that moment is the copy, not the original delivery. Redate removes the traces of the migration and gives each email back its real received date.
During a migration, tools like BitTitan MigrationWiz, CloudM, or imapsync copy every email into the new mailbox. The destination server or the tool adds information dated the day of the copy, and email clients then show that date instead of the original one.
Redate.io charges 0.004 EUR per email flagged for correction, with a minimum of 29 EUR per mailbox. The scan is completely free and requires no credit card. Payment is only requested after reviewing the results and approving the fix. All prices exclude VAT, which is added at checkout based on your country.
It depends on the platform. For a Microsoft mailbox (Outlook.com, Hotmail, Live or Microsoft 365), you sign in with your own Microsoft account and Redate opens that mailbox only, so a personal account needs no administrator at all. A work or school account sometimes requires its administrator to approve Redate once for the whole organisation, and Redate prepares the link and the message to send. For Google Workspace, an administrator sets up delegation once, and every mailbox in the organisation can then be fixed. For any other IMAP server, the credentials of the mailbox itself are enough.
Original emails are moved to a visible folder called "Redate.io - Originals" in your mailbox. They are never deleted, so you can review every result. To undo a fix, contact Redate.
Some emails may lack the original 'Date' header. These are automatically skipped and listed in your report. The price is based on the emails your scan flags for correction, shown before you pay.
Redate.io works with any email server that supports IMAP, including GoDaddy, Rackspace, IONOS, Zoho, Yahoo, FastMail, Zimbra, cPanel hosting, Dovecot, and many more. If you can connect via IMAP, Redate.io can fix your dates.
You need your IMAP server address (e.g. imap.yourdomain.com), port number (usually 993), your email address, and your password. If you have two-factor authentication enabled, you may need to create an app-specific password in your provider's security settings.
Your credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM and used only during the scan and fix process. They are never stored in plain text and can be deleted from your account at any time.
