How can I tell the age of someone else's .mac email address?

Is there a way that I can determine how long someone else has had a .mac email address? A little detective work for a story I'm working on, but I don't know the first place to start trying to figure this out. Thanks!

You can't. You also can't tell whether a .mac address is the primary account, or an alias.

Yeah, if that's the only way, it'd be interesting to see what the response is, at least, if I asked the question.

Some .mac email addresses must be old... i.e. iTools time.
If it is <common_first_name>@mac.com (like william@mac.com etc.) it MUST be old. 😀
