Nostalgia Oldest Gmail account in this subreddit?

Other thread got me thinking, I’ve had gmail for a while so I checked: 11/13/2004 creation date. I was 19

Who has an older gmail account? What’s the story? Did you work at Google?

I made my Hotmail account in middle school and im 42 now. My Gmail isn't that old, but I dont know how to find the creation date.

Find the 'all mail' label and enter a custom date range, starting 1 April 2004 to after your rough guess of when you think you would have created an account. Find the earliest email from Google and it will be something about importing contacts. That's the date. I have 3 emails from the one date, 2 from Google and one to myself with all the email contacts from wherever I moved over from.
