@Gmail v @Googlemail

Interested in making a Gmail account. I am from the UK and want a @gmail not a @googlemail (if your from the UK you have the @googlemail.)

Just wondering if I go through a proxy to get a @gmail will google pick up on this and change my account to @googlemail?

Thanks..

 

Googlemail is Gmail - when you get a Googlemail account you can use the extension "Gmail".

 

ask your sender to send email at @gmail.com address and it'll be delivered right to you.

 

Google will detect this easily.

 

That's quite interesting... I didn't pay attention until now, but yes, all people from UK have "googlemail" instead of "gmail". I don't think the proxy idea is good, as they will see through it.

 

There is no difference, Google would redirect the email, it's the same.

 

I agree there is no difference, if you log in google is the same as gmail..

 

The difference is just identical nothing else, both things are same at end of the day.

 

I am in the UK and have held a Googlemail account for some years now, although I tend to give out the Googlemail address by false of habit the Gmail address works as well, I think Google orginally had some issue using the business name Gmail in the UK for a while and had to use Googlemail, I understand this has now been resolved but as nobody really notices I guess they have felt it is fine to keep going, I don't blame them!!

 

googlemail.com and gmail.com are the same smtp server.

Theirfore doesnt matter which domain you use your email with .

 

googlemail.com and gmail.com both are same but in the U.K and Germany officially called Google Mail.

 

its just the same though..but if you really want to have an account with gmail.com
maybe ask someone to do it for you in other country
and see if it works well once its open there...

 

gmail and googlemail is the same i think

 

they changed it to googlemail.com for some countries because of trademark issues


"The domain gmail.com is unavailable in certain countries, such as the United Kingdom and Germany, due to trademark disputes, in which cases users must use the domain googlemail.com.[33]

Because the domains are interchangeable, users obliged to use the googlemail.com domain are unable to select addresses already chosen by gmail.com users. Inbound e-mails sent to either googlemail.com or gmail.com addresses will reach the user. When registering for an online service, Googlemail users must use the googlemail.com form of their email address to ensure that any administrative emails they send to the service, such as confirmation messages, are recognized."

 

You can give use Email ID in Gmail form or Googlemail either, they gonna work same...

 

gmail or googlemail both are same

 

Gmail is the extension that you use for Google Mail.

 

Both are the same your can use any one... now it's up to you... Even now a days UK people are also using @gmail.com

 

No difference for both

 

Both are same...
