Hello Karthick,

I'd suggest asking Exchange Server specific questions on the Exchange Server Development forum instead. The current one is for Outlook specific questions.  

Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -IncludeOldestAndNewestItems -Identity <mailbox> | 
    Where OldestItemReceivedDate -ne $null | 
    Sort OldestItemReceivedDate | 
    Select -First 1 OldestItemReceivedDate

Karthick asked in The Official Scripting Guys Forum!, but Bill_Stewart moved it here for some reason. Exchange Server 2013 - General Discussion or Windows PowerShell would be more appropriate.

Actually any forum BUT Outlook would be OK. I was also confused by the wording of the question at first. Not the OPs fault but just one of wording and visual/perceptual interpretation.

As you have shown, the request can be handled by the Exchange Shell quite easily although, with the Exchange 2010 shell, the "where" may have to be reverted.
