How can I find out how long I've been a Gmail member?

[brown...@gmail.com]

I can't seem to get an answer from anyone on Google's Help team. I
just want to know when I set up my email account as I can't remember
how long I've had it. Isn't there a section that would show you that?

If anyone has an idea, please advise.

Thanks so much.

The easiest way to find out how long you've had your account for is to click All Mail, then click the Oldest link.  This will show you the 25, 50, or 100 (depending on your display settings) oldest messages you have.  One flaw in this approach is if you delete your messages.  However, if you archive them all, then look at the date of the last email in the list.

What about if we delete that old messages as you said ? Is there
anyway to know that in other way ?

There is not.

    Or if there is, we haven't heard of it. Perhaps you (Phillip) could use the Help Center to contact Google to ask?

If you joined with an Invite from someone else, then that person got an auto
email when you created your account. Maybe they didn't delete it. That's
the only other way I know of.
