| | From October 19th, 2005 any person who signs up for the Gmail service they will have any email as username@googlemail.com and it is for only those people who live in THE UK. The reason for this is that another company in the UK has claimed the rights of the trademark of gmail as their own trade mark and google is trying their level best to make sure that there trademark stays with them....if they loose then it will be googlemail otherwise it will stay as GMAIL only.

As long as it doesn't affect you, it has no significance whatsoever, right? Anyway, this has been up in the air for a while. If you remember from around the time Gmail first commenced, a company already operating from Gmail.co.uk filed a suit against them (or sought to take some other form of legal action against Google, I don't really remember).

Bah, I can foresee that there will be a lot of demand for proxies from other countries in the UK, just for singing up on gmail!

I am just glad they are not changing are names we already have. It's kind of dumb. Oh well. Thanks for the info. I wish the company would at least compromise. Then it wouldn't effect so many people. Hey keep us updated Mayank if anything changes. Thanks again.

To be honest doesn't everyone already have a Gmail account anyway? and its not like its the end of the world big deal you will have to type a few more letters. Granted Gmail does sound alot cooler than Google Mail, but I dont really care I already have a Gmail account and the features that make it the bestwebmail system will still be the same and continue to improve. or maybe I just don't see the relevence as I already have my nice shiney @gmail.com address.

Well, I mean, you can always get your US or Canadian or Australian friend or just a friend from somewhere else to sign up for you, and give you the password and account. However, I don't think Google would like that. (Maybe I should try to get my british friends to send me a googlemail invite... it doesn't hurt to get extra email accounts  )

At least the change is not affecting too many things I mean, the address of the sign-in page is the same, and also, QUOTE ...this change doesn’t affect existing Gmail addresses.
meaning that people (in the UK) who already have a gmail address will not have to change it. I do hope they can get the gmail address back, because it's, well, snappier. There can't be too much to a name, though, and I think I have no problem typing out g o o g l e m a i l for an e-mail address!

Why Is Gmail Still Beta?
what's the policy behind keeping a beta version (7) I've been using GMail for almost three years, probably got it a few months after it was
launched. I like it very much, the most out of all webmail systems I've tried. When I started
using it I was thinking "OK, that beta will be dropped soon", then I got used to seeing the logo
that way. Now I wonder what's the reason to keep the "beta" indication? Is it some sort of
disclaimer ("if it loses your mail it's your problem") or just that people got used to it and
removing it would mean losing users ("mmm it may soon become a paid service..", I know that does....
An Ode To Gmail.

Until the savior came. Google decided to do the smart move and make a revolutionary kind of e-mail.
Starting off with their beta program that made use of invitations, many people (including me) found
the truly amazing experience and the easy to use interface of GMail it's key points to lead the

Multiple Gmail Accounts As Free Online Storage?
(8) I came across this topic which basically says that you can use Gmail to store your files. If
you're lucky, you get some free gmail invites to be sent to your friends when you open a gmail
account. Now if you just keep sending the invites to yourself, you'll end up with lots more
gmail accounts, isn't it? (I've tried it, you CAN create multiple gmail accounts by inviting
yourself) And that means more storage space if you use each account to store 2 GB of things right?

Which Antivirus Gmail Is Using?
A person found out it is Sophos! (12) Hey everyone! While surfing the internet I found out an intersing report..which claims that Gmail
is using Sophos as the antivirus. This guy used a free service in which he sent out some malwares
and that service gave out the report of major antiviruses...like which one detected it and which
didnt. And then he compared it with Gmail....and the results show that Gmail found out exactly the
same malwares which sophos found...so that means there algorithm is same...so it has to be sophos!
