Try to check all

message.getFrom();
message.getReplyTo();
message.getReceivedDate(); 
message.getSentDate();

if message.getReplyTo() is not null, then can replace your "from" field, and if either one message.getReceivedDate() or message.getSentDate() is not null, then can replace your date field.

Messages don't have to have anything in any of the headers. In particular, it is OK to have no valid "From:" header (and OK to have no valid "To:" header also). Only the SMTP envelope fields are actually used, to transmit and deliver the message; the headers are not required.
