I have recently had problems with my I phone, it has been playing up since I updated the ios.. I received a strange email which was from an unknown sender, the subject of the email was 01011970.
I did some research on this and if you change your calendar to this date it bricks your phone, as unix was slated with an 01011970 start.
I have no clue on how or why I got this email.
Am I on a chinese target list because of my alleged andrews and china connection.
I deleted the email.

I have to probably do a factory reset, this might solve it. And get a new email host.
Users who have seen the email bug have reported fixing it by closing the email app and performing a hard reset on the iPhone – done by holding down the lock and home button until it resets.
A date of 1/1/1970, for example, means that an empty (or zero) date field was supplied on the sending end. What I think you have is an attempt at spam that went awry. The spam engine sent an incomplete message. It had enough information to specify your address as the recipient, but that's it.
