why would it be? why would you want it to be? @gmail.com is shorter and more rememberful (is that a word? it reminds me of the movie Run Ronnie Run staring David Cross and Bob Odenkirk - very funny movie even if you aren't fans of Mr. Show.)
That's your answer. I guess the mx record/e-mail admin/server geeks can comment further. Rememberful... Memorable... Easier to remember... We know what you mean.
I'm getting this error when I try to log onto Gmail: Sorry, there seems to be a problem. The service you're looking for is temporarily unavailable. We're working hard to restore your access as soon as possible. Please try again in a few hours. Thanks for your patience.
Hurricane: just send it to @gmail.com -- the longer URL is the GMail signin page - your customer is just confused. Younghistorians: That error occurs periodically with GMail - it rarely lasts long. Remember, it is still in beta...
