Does this still exist? I am looking to get a gmail email address rather than a googlemail.com account. Please can anyone help? Thanks

hi
if i'm not mistaken you can sign up free. in case it isn't, i'll send you one

thats correct but the problem here is that in UK you get an @googlemail address rather than a @gmail address due to some other company previously already had gmail as a trademark
I believe you can use a non uk proxy to create a gmail account, or get someone outside of UK to create it for you

didn't know that. well, in that case i could do it as well.
thanks.

any advise on how to go down the non-proxy route in which case? Anyone outside the UK who can help me?
Thanks for the advise guys!

people people people.....
even though you have a googlemail account gmail will still work....
ie...
if you were
joe_bloogs@googlemail.com
joe_bloogs@gmail.com would also work..
well it does for me.. but I signed up way before it way googlemail....

I am in the UK and have a @gmail.com account.

It seems to work for me too, but the reply email address comes back as xxxx@googlemail.com and I dont really want people using my email address to have any confusion.
any ideas?
