Gmail account creation date is very much significant related to security issues as if you forget your password as well as security questions then these informations are used to give back your account to you. Previously there was a methodavailable on the net but if in case you have deleted the first e-mail sent by the gmail team [like me] then there was apperently no other process to find your email. Well not actually! There is still a hope for us
I was configuring my blakut.com email [given to me by kaushik] to forward all the email to my regularly used Gmail, when I found this trick. As I have previously deleted the first message sent by gmail team so I was in no way able to find the date when I created my account, until I discovered this trick today
Its quite easy! Here is what you need to do
- Goto the settings page from your email box
- ection
- Now search for the line
1. Status: POP is enabled for all mail that has arrived since ….
as shown in the picture below

Bingo! If you have not changed your POP setting [which normally we dont do] then the blurred information shown in the image is your account creation date! Now keep this information safe somewhere. As who knows what may happen in future
