Gmail launched in 2004, about 15 years ago.

  Gmail was in a very limited public beta during 2004 and 2005, not moving out of beta status until mid 2009. Even if he was an early adopter (which seems unlikely given the length of his email address and the fact that the oldest reference to it Google turns up appears to be from 2011), we still don't arrive at 15 years. Whether he has 13 years or 13 months worth of email stored in his Gmail account, I hope he has started archiving it now!

    My email address is also my full name and I was in at the very beginning as well. And 2004-2017 is 14 years.

    It wasn't that limited. Anyone who got an invite could forward them along. Gmail still being in "beta" was a running joke for awhile.
