According to an article that i just read at the WebProNews Newsletter is posible that the @gmail.com accounts could change to @googlemail.com because Google loose rights to GMail in the UK...

How could they loos rights to it? Are they selling them or did someone have them first? I use Yahoo and haven't had any problems yet. I don't like how the website is getting to have larger programs but it gets the job done. Do you think you will loose your account? I thought Gmail was still only a beta? I have heard that AOL has a free your_name@your_name.com email account. Maby you could look into that if Gmail looses there rights? Googlemail.com isn't all that bad. Its just a little longer. If you like there mail set up you should stick with it I was thinking about trying it but I never got invited and didn't really want to try too hard to get someone to invite me.
Thanks,
Sparkx

GMail has opened up their registration I think all you need now is a cell phone.

You should read the article he linked to its interesting. Were talking about the legal rights to a brand name. Gmail was a product by the company in the UK (IIIR) but Google did some shifty work to get the rights to the brand name first.

If/when any action is taken in North America my guess is they would stop releasing new e-mails with the extension but current customers would get to keep their @gmail.com accounts. You would see no reference to Gmail on the site and there may even be an announcement from 'corporate'.

Nothing to get worried about from a customer standpoint unless of course your concerned about branding legislation and shady corporate going ons

Well I think it was only 100 soldiers that the UK were short of at the time..if the ships had landed on time and not got caught up in the bad weather in the atlantic I firmly think that the US of A would still be under our control
And I know the world would be a better place for it

Well I am sure, google is going to have th domain gmail nicely under its hoods. Its sometimes good to show we dont need that, to bring down the price. Nothing is unsaleable, you need to quote rightly. Even if google looses gmail domain, I think I will have to stick with googlemail, since its much much better than any of the contenders.

some day, there will be emails generating from computer domains rather than internet domain. The domain of Peer 2 Peer Connection. I have been thinking a lot on. Say you can just email from your computer and receive on your computer, you are given a dynamically assigned domain, which you can get free. Its just my imagination..

Hey thanks for the heads up on this! Actually there seems to be two address possibilities now. I just use my old gmail.com though. But guess what I found out! Gmail whatever has free alias ad-ons and free pop mail. Well I do not use pop mail I prefer web mail. I do not like to clutter things up. Web mail you can use anywhere too.

This is a site that has a lot of information about gmail etc.:http://www.labnol.org/internet/email/gmail-email-alias-two-separate-gmail-address/
I did not know that you could create another address in Gmail to have your email forwarded to but evidently you can. I am going to try that for business.

Oh by the way, gmail has a limit on how much email you can send out in one day. At least, that is the information on this site:http://www.labnol.org/internet/email/gmail-daily-limit-sending-bulk-email/2191/ I am not happy with that. But I do not do a lot of mass mailings.


EKKKK! Gmail has a lot of rules on this site for shutting down your account. Here's one:Rule 4: This is slightly unrelated but still important - Google will disable your Gmail account permanently if you don’t check your Gmail email for a period of nine months. All the stored messages will be deleted and you Gmail address (user name) may be released for others to grab it.

I guess if you get stuck in the hospital then you will have to have a laptop or something like that. I was incapacitated for nearly a year at one time. OOOOps

For me it will be very bad because i have made my gmail account my EMAIL ACCOUNT and i'm very confortable with it.

Change to @Googlemail.com ?? Oh.... I hope not. Gmail is shorter and easier to be remembered and typed. However, my friends won't know that perhaps. And send to the wrong email address.

They better not change it to googlemail. I like the abbreviation, nice and easy.

Don't worry. This is a rather old post. At the beginning, people were afraid because of this problem. But almost nobody had is gmail address changed.
Probably, in the states where there was a problematic situation, newly registered people had got their new accounts with the googlemail name. However, the currently users have no problems, and probably no new registration in "standard" countries have this problem.

   I was surprised the other day when I read about the types of security connections that you get when
   you use Gmail. It seems when you use Gmail, Google uses https for authentication and http for
   everything else, I assume to save resources. I guess my surprise was in that Google didn't
   maintain a secure session once logged in regardless if you entered the site via http or https. Yes,
   I may be a bit naive in assuming that this would be done by default. To change this issue, you have
   to Log In to your mail account, and in Configurations, you have to go to the bottom p...
