Gmail Becomes Google Mail in the UK

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-thats-just-a-pain dept.

akadruid writes "As of today, UK Gmail users are seeing 'Google Mail' at the top of their Gmail accounts, and Google is warning they may lose their '@gmail.com' addresses in the future. All new signups from the UK will be assigned '@googlemail.com' addresses, and existing accounts will be able to use either domain for now. Gmail's help pages explain this is related to their ongoing dispute regarding the Gmail trademark."

    They're not rolling it out - Gmail is still in beta.
