QUOTE(Chesso @ Mar 2 2007, 07:02 AM)  GoogleMail the name is just fine, but I am very used to Gmail and it is much shorter also, which I think is a good thing. Small and easily identifable. It would be quite a nuisance if mine did change as I use it not only for email but also for IM clients like MSN Messenger. Regards, Chesso I guess that you should have no problem, if you are from Australia.
Well I would assume that they would change it for everyone, only doing it for people from a or some countries would be a bit silly and confusing.
QUOTE QUOTE(sparkx @ Feb 27 2007, 06:56 PM) 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. Cheers, -Jordan Do I really need a cell phone? Do homephones work? I don't like telling people my cellphone number because I don't want to be added to a telemarketer list. I also don't have texting on my cellphone anyway so I don't think I can join. I will look at the thread about what people think about it in a moment. If people like it I may just get it using my friends cellphone (unless thats against there TOS). Thanks for the help  Sparkx
Oh I never noticed that, I don't have a mobile/cell phone, can't stand them lol.
I have used Gmail for a long time and I will continue to call it Gmail, regardless of what they change the name to. It really wouldn't matter if they renamed their service GoogleMail, because Gmail meant that anyway; it is just an extension of the existing anagram. Google could possibly buy the rights and pay for the damages of the changing of the name of IIR's product (only 60 or so million according to the article). Google is such a massive company that they can just pay off anybody they want without too much difficulty. I hold stock in Google, but I don't think a simple change of name would matter, considering that Google can keep the domain name. I expect Google to fight this one pretty hard because they are a higher profile company than IIR and have more to loose in changing their name.

Thanks for the help Sparkx not anymore. now you can just fill out the form and get a gmail account without having to have a cell phone. But also, even if they switch to googlemail, and you get stuck with JohnDoe@googlemail.com, you can still give out your address as JohnDoe@gmail.com and it will send it to your googlemail box anyways. then if you use a POP3/SMTP client that supports it, you can mask your googlemail address so that when you send email to people it looks like you have a gmail address extension. --to avoid confusion. Now that i said that, i think it's even right in the gmail settings, where you can specify a return address and sending address?
Wow, that is very interesting. Who would have thought that gmail was already owned by another company. It seems like everyone is trying to get a piece of google lately. But with that lawsuit going through it wouldnt hurt me so much because my gmail account is rarely used. Although I still would have to go to certain online areas to change my email address to the new extension address. I am hoping that somehow it would not go through and I wouldnt have to change anything because being as lazy as I am I dont want to go find the online resources that I used to replace the email extenson with the new one.

In my case, it would be a bad situation because my gmail account is my default email and i'm subscribed in a lot of mail lists, forums, etc with it. BTW, Grafitti your right, you can set the return and sender address in your account configuration page. Best regards,
As most of the members around here suggested, the @googlemail.com domain would sound a bit ackward! And no wonder Gmail is such a sweet brand, someone must've thought of copyrighting it before!
But I didn't get the point of localizing it to UK!  I mean Google has got one common domain for all its mail users - @gmail.com Unlike other services like Yahoo!, it doesn't use localized domains like co.uk (or atleast I didn't come across any such domain) So if Google lost rights to the @gmail.com domain in UK, then it must be in effect world-wide! So now, either Google has to sort out its users and hand them their localized domains all over, or use localized domains for the UK users (@googlemail.com) and keep the rest in peace!  I surely won't like pronouncing my email ID on the @googlemail.com domain...  Lets just say the Google Networks got one more problem in their hoards already to tackle with, and fast! They're not going to remain BETA forever, are they?!
