Anyone know how to find out when you created a yahoo mail account?

Ive checked my account and profile and I didnt see it. I want to know when I first signed up for that email account. I think im coming up on 10 years. Not that it matters, but I was curious.
 
Go to your profile, edit profile information, and at the bottom there is a checkbox for "Display how long I have been a member of Yahoo! on my profiles." Let us know how long you've been with them!

heh.

I had (and still have) a free MSN account. Never had the need for other emails until about '99 or so when my MSN account was just nothing but spam. The consequences of posting on Usenet with my email listed.

Just as Saulbadguy posted.

Go to your profile, click on Edit Profile Information and it's at the bottom...right below the checkbox to make your profile an Adult one.
 
its a little trickier than just clicking on edit profile. You need to click the edit option on the right hand side then there is another one to click on the top. then check the box and save changes.

Oy, I didn't even see the option. Anyway, been a member since 7/11/98. My yahoo junk account has been around longer than my all my real addresses.
 
has Yahoo mail been around 10 years??

I signed up for Hotmail BEFORE a yahoo mail was available (or so i thought at the time i could be wrong) and i don't think it was more than 10 yrs ago.
 
Wow, I've only been a member since April 1999? Funny, I thought that I've been using web mail longer than that.

Oh well, I guess that I was still using my university's shell account back then. Ugh... I'm having pine flashbacks now 🙁
 
ohh WoW.. i think i am writing on this thread almost after 10yrs of the original post...

still i have the same question... from where i can check "how long I have been a member of Yahoo! on my profiles" ?

I used to be able to see it back in 2003/4 but can't see it anymore... if i can remember correctly i am using the same yahoo account since 1999/2000 .. i just want to know.

Does anyone know if it has been removed from yahoo or still there somewhere...?

Thanks 🙂
 
Also coming by very late to say I've been trying to find this information on and off for years, and finally found the way to do it! Go to this link. It will create the following query for the Yahoo database:
"select * from social.profile where guid=me"

Click the "Test" button and it will return some XML. Then find (ctrl-f) the tag called <MemberSince> and you've got your date. Cheers all.
