tomturd Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Right, my girlfriend sent me a Gmail invitation, and her email address is XXX@Gmail.com, but mines XXX@googlemail.com, anyone know why this is and how to get round it? I dont mind opening a new account. I read it in the paper the other day. Theres a finance company or system or something already called G-Mail, and accounts in the UK are now @googlemail.com - old ones remain as gmail.com ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeillyB Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 (edited) gMail lost a lawsuit involving the legalities of the gMail suffix. They had to change their name to googlemail. Some people will get to keep their gMail suffix, others won't. New users will, obviously, get the new one. EDIT: Dammit tomturd!
