I have an iPad 2 and have received and email with no sender id, no subject and no content but with a date of 01.01.1970.
I know that this date is an epoch value. Epoch date is the start date used to calculate the current date and time in computers. Perhaps there is a glitch or bug in the operating system since the turn of then new year? What ever it is it’s a nuisance.

@Marg – sorry I can’t offer a solution to your problem with the Samsung galaxy emails showing up as 01/01/1970 but I can tell you, from looking at my site statistics, that you are definitely not alone. I’ve had lots of people searching for “samsung 01/01/1970″, “01/01/1970 emails samsung” etc so it’s not just you that is having these problems.

My dad has suddenly started getting e-mails on his 1Phone from 01.01.1970, with No Sender, No Subject and No Content. They do not appear on the computer and he cannot delete them! And they’ve multiplied from 2 to 73!!
