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
Click to enlarge
- Then goto Forward and POP/IMAP section
- 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
~~The End~~

this is not correct
i have crossed check it
I did confirmed it before publishing! It works only if you have not messed with your POP settings! The date is shown just beside the POP download section, as you can see in the screenshot! BTW you have to go to Settings page from Gmail inbox!
