Emailing isn't a good idea
because it's possible to contest the dates on an email, and difficult to prove them. Royal mail is an established institution that has a lot of legality already tied into their date stamps. Royal Mail is by far the best way.

is it possible to contest an email date
when it's all been saved remotely?

Some email clients use the date of the time the email was sent, according to the sender's computer.
Although using a system such as gmail or hotmail would be harder to contest, you might have trouble convincing a judge or jury of that. Royal Mail is so deeply ingrained into our society, people will take the date stamp as correct without question.

I'm sure there are more things you can do to help prove it though.
