delivi 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2007 I think that all the new users who signup for GMail will be offered to select their choice of domain names for their mail ID's just like a few free email providers offers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yordan 10 Report post Posted March 4, 2007 it's not so obivous, because, if you go to the gmail "register" page, there is a "check availability" box, and currently you check if "yourname@gmail.com" is available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TavoxPeru 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2007 I think that all the new users who signup for GMail will be offered to select their choice of domain names for their mail ID's just like a few free email providers offers.That is not correct, when you signup GMail does not offers you the posibility to select your domain name for your mail ID. If you want to use your own domain name you have the posibility to sign up for the Google for Applications service, which allows you to use GMail, Google Calendar, GTalk and Google Page Creator for your own domain name and all alocated at Google's servers. I use it a while for a domain name and let me say that is very easy to use, administer, and configure, the only thing that i dont like about this is that you dont have complete control over it.Best regards, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yordan 10 Report post Posted April 22, 2007 Yes, this topic is rather old ! When this topic started, people were wondering if the label of their mail address would change. Today, Personnally, I know, no problem. My old addres@gmail.com is still my current one, so nothing changed for myself. Did some persons here in the forum have their google mail address change due to the problem mentionned at the beginning of this thread ? Yordan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grafitti 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2007 I have both gmail, which i got near the beginning, then googlemail, which was sort of in the middle, and now the new addresses i create are gmail again. I never had any problem or any switching of one to the other, and for my @googlemail addresses, i can write @gmail instead and it goes through without any problems and vice versa.

Moon Child 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2007 It might sound serious when we read it like this, but I sincerely doubt that Google will give up easily. Let's not forget that the people in Google have a lot money - and money makes the world go round. They are aware that changing gmail.com to googlemail.com would put off numerous users, and, if I were them, I would make sure that doesn't happen.That's very true, because after all, they have stocks too, so they have to be careful when it comes to a decision like that. I have to admit I'm a GMail addict. I love how the logo is so compact yet effective, and ridding it of its name like that is just unnatural. Can't say I'm rooting for the change, but I really hope they don't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hamza1405241548 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2007 (edited) @googlemail.com wont really matter because the services would still be same. i am wondering will it also change for old customers or the whole users would change.

trinifawk 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2007 I love gmail, but I wouldn't like the whole name change. I haven't heard any news of such a change though, so we'll have to wait and see about that. If they DID have a change, I hope that all emails sent to my gmail would be redirected to googlemail. Google is rich enough to buy out any copyright though. It shouldn't be a problem for them.

tforce 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2007 Oh no.... this is bad... googlemail just sounds way too gay! What is google trying to do? Just buy the damned copyrights from the company! Will this only affect UK users? Or affect all of us? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
