Note that RFC 822 does not define a field for the received date and getReceivedDate method is based on this.

You may want to try the below getHeader and then parse out the received Date from the data that looks like


Date Mesg Received : (from root@localhost)
        by host.super-nova.net (8.10.2/8.10.2) id fB4BQb029024
        for sysadmin@alabanza.com; Tue, 4 Dec 2001 06:26:37 -0500



//        System.out.println("Date Mesg Received : "+message.getReceivedDate().toString()+"
");
        String[] receivedData = message.getHeader("Received");
        for(int k = 0; k < receivedData.length; k++)
        {
            System.out.println("Date Mesg Received : "+receivedData[k]+"
");	
        }
