| | 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.

Bah... gmail.co.uk is just a little private mailing system, and google has to change names for it? x[ Well that will make the "Google controls the World" stories a bit weaker *shrug*

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!

Multiple Gmail Accounts As Free Online Storage?

I came across this topic which basically says that you can use Gmail to store your files. If

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?
Could it possibly rival other premium data backup services online, most importantly...

QUOTE It seems that Microsoft has started flagging Gmail as a virus in their virus scanning

Microsoft is generating false positives. Some affected by this "virus" say other anti-virus products
do not pick up the infection — to me, this is a bit suspicious. So who should be responsible for
fixing the problem? Either Google can wait for Microsoft to update their virus def...
