When was your Gmail account created?


Recommended Posts

I'm surprised so many people kept the welcome email.

I've just never deleted any emails I receive outside of it being spam.

 

I've had it since a friend invited me back on August 25, 2004.

Earliest email is 11th Sept 2004. Took an invite from the invite thread on here if I remember rightly.

First off, welcome. And thanks for agreeing to help us test Gmail. By now you probably know the key ways in which Gmail differs from traditional webmail services. Searching instead of filing. A free gigabyte of storage. Messages displayed in context as conversations.

So what else is new?

Gmail has many other special features that will become apparent as you use your account. To help you get started, we encourage you to visit our Help Center, there you can browse frequently asked questions, read our Getting Started guide, or contact the Gmail User Support Team. You'll also find information in the Help Center on such topics as:

  • Importing your contacts from Yahoo! Mail, Outlook, and others to Gmail
  • Using address auto-complete
  • Setting up filters for incoming mail
  • Using advanced search options

You may also have noticed some text ads or related links to the right of this message. They're placed there in the same way that ads are placed alongside Google search results and, through our AdSense program, on content pages across the web. The matching of ads to content in your Gmail messages is performed entirely by computers; never by people. Because the ads and links are matched to information that is of interest to you, we hope you'll find them relevant and useful.

We're working hard during our limited test to improve Gmail and make it the best webmail service around. Thanks for taking the plunge with us. We hope you'll enjoy Google's approach to email.

Thanks,

The Gmail Team

P.S. You can sign in to your account any time by visiting http://gmail.google.com

Sometime in 2004, i never used it for anything until i got an Android phone in 2010 which required an @gmail.com address to use the Google services.

 

I had always used an email address at a different domain as my Google account, however you couldn't use that as the primary Google account on Android devices until 4.0.

Don't remember the exact date, but I opened my account in 2004 within a couple of months of the service first opening. Got my beta invite from a friend
