How to Find gmail Account Creation Date

How to find Gmail account creation date. Well this question has immense value when it comes to Gmail Password Recovery. Why?? Because during initiating a password reset using Gmail contact form, you have to enter Gmail creation date, otherwise you are not allowed to reset your password. So i have mentioned two ways by which you can know the Gmail account creation date.

Method 1: Gmail welcome mail 

All Gmail account receive "Gmail welcome mail" after they create Gmail account. So this Gmail welcome mail has the same date as your gmail account creation date.So noting this mail will serve the purpose. Go to Gmail Inbox to and hit the Oldest button to get the last message. this message will be from Gmail Team. Note down the Date and you are done!!

Note : This case may fail if you had deleted your Welcome mail ,So you are unable to get the email creation date. If you are one of those proceed to Method 2.
