How can I delete duplicates of one variable based on a start date using NODUPKEY?
Thanks!
Sort it twice. First time with email address and date, second with email address and the NODUPKEY option.
Provide more details.

For instance, if someone said Sam123@gmail.com and also sam123@gmail.com-I'd want one of those deleted from the database.
To fix this you need to clean your data first.
This code gets rid of missing e-mails, is there a way to prevent that?
To deal with this you likely need to do it manually.
First sort and then use a data step with first/last but coding an exception for the missing emails.
proc sort data=have;
by group_var;
run;
data want;
set have;
by group_var;
if first.group_var or missing(group_var);
run;
