Is it possible to cheat time of sending e-mail?

Supposed that you send an e-mail to your boss at 03:00 AM.
Then that e-mail may reach his mailbox within a moment,
but later when he check the e-mail, he found that he got
your e-mail at 05:00AM.

Is it possible to do this with yahoo mail or other mails?

P.S. you and your boss are supposed in the same country.

No, once it's sent, you have no control over it.

In the header you can see maybe when the email was sent and then the time it was ACTUALLY delivered. Sometimes, for one reason or another, emails may take 24 hours to deliver. Reason, being, that it has happened to me. I do not know the reason either.
