Google Mail
The Google Mail logo.On July 4, 2005, Google announced that Gmail Deutschland would be rebranded Google Mail. From that point forward, visitors originating from an IP address determined to be in Germany would be forwarded to googlemail.com where they could obtain an email address containing the new domain. Any German user who wants a gmail.com address must sign up for an account through a proxy. German users who were already registered were allowed to keep their old addresses.
On October 19, 2005, the United Kingdom version of Gmail was converted to Google Mail, because "Gmail" is trademarked by another company in the UK.[10] However, this can be bypassed by using a proxy. Curiously, even though UK users' address shows up at the top of their inbox and in emails they send as xxx@googlemail.com, emails sent to xxx@gmail.com still reach the intended recipient. Users who registered before the switch to Googlemail face no problems whatsoever - they keep their GMail address (although the logo in the top-left of the page appears as 'Google Mail').
