Gmail Username

Mine is rghjones@ - first three initials then surname. I signed up in the Beta yonks ago too but unfortunately Jones is just toooo common, plus I use that handle for everything anyway (domain etc).

Yes, get yourself a domain name and install Google Apps. I've been using it for years on my domain and it's never let me down. You can get a .co.uk domain for about a fiver per year. You get the same great service as Gmail, but you get more control over it. The best thing is you can change the logo which always attracts interest from nosy people.

Any more info on this? I have two email addresses, one for work (on my hosting/domain) and one personal (Gmail), ideally I'd want them both coming into my Gmail inbox, because then I'd be able to get my emails through on Gmail Manager for firefox, and on my phone. (Android so Gmail app is built in).

Any way of doing this?

You could just forward your work emails to your Gmail address? That's what I do as it's the easiest way and keeps everything separate still. Plus you can still send mail as if it's coming from your work so the option's still there, just not quite the same.

I'll try to set that up later, cheers.

Tried it with a dot in your name? I use [email protected].

But then I also have a very uncommon name.

I think gmail ignores the dots, so [email protected] will also get emails to [email protected] and [email protected]....
