GMail creation date

[stevo]

Does anyone know how to obtain the creation date for any GMail account. Not my own, but someone else's. In other words - creation date for any existing GMail account.

I don't think it's possible otherwise it might be considered a infraction of privacy.

Ask them to forward you the first email they got in their gMail account?

I am curious to this as well ....is this possible?

No, it would obviously be a privacy violation. Why do you want to know?

I've noticed a lot of people are now spamming with gmail accounts. It's like looking at the age of a domain, if you get an email about a service but you notice the domain was registered a week ago, would you be more likely to trust that or one that's been around and with the same owner for years?

Knowing the creation date of gmail account is very sensitive information.

As google accounts recovery option requires that info https://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/request.py?ara=1&hl=en&contact_type=ara&ctx=ara
