Google Mail in the UK? Or not?
Just noticed that these two sections of the article seem to contradict:
- "Gmail, known as Google Mail in Germany and the United Kingdom, ... "
- "On December 14, 2006, at a cost of over $4 million, Google obtained the rights to the gmail.co.uk domain and is now accepting gmail.com addresses for United Kingdom users."
So is it back to Gmail in the UK? If so, the opening sentence should be changed. PlazzTT 00:35, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
- Trying to sign up for a new account still offers me a Googlemail.com address, and the gmail.co.uk domain doesn't forward to Gmail as you might expect, so I'm not really sure what's going on here. Idumea 16:52, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

- The second statement is totally incorrect, so I've removed it from the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MamboJambo (talk • contribs) 19:49, March 4, 2007.

- Hey guys, isnt it "also known" as google mail everywhere, and its just those two countrys that its not titled Gmail? Maybe the opening line could reflect that, something like: "Gmail, also known as Google Mail, including the UK and Germany (where this is its official name)". I don't edit this article so I won't make the change or anything, so its just a friendly suggestion :)

- Google can't use the Gmail name in the UK at all. So use of gmail.co.uk addresses would still fall under that I guess, seeing as it contains "gmail". They probably just secured the domain for a future redirect. --A Cornish Pasty 22:32, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Problems with Gmail and hotmail, yahoo
People have reported issues with gmail and hotmail. For example, I constantly get "Delivery Status Notification": failure messages sent to my spam box on hotmail when REPLYING to a known gmail address. My message in turn doesnt go through. A similar error occurs when some gmail accounts send to me. Supposedly, yahoo also has blocked gmail invitation requests. 134.121.179.87 21:42, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
