Default Solved: Google screwed up my Gmail acct in Thunderbird

One thing I still wonder about is that in some implementations I see
googlemail.com instead of gmail.com but they both seem to work. Are
those two names just pointing to the same servers?


Google got into a lawsuit regarding their gmail moniker in the UK. They
were forced to change it to googlemail there although nothing in their
server farm changed except the domain name in their nameserver.

The trademark dispute started in 2004. Eventually Google acquired the
gmail trademark in the UK, Germany, and Russia.
