Ah no, not Google Mail!

radiospan

Just signed in to my Gmail account, to see that it's now called Google Mail because it thinks I'm in the UK (I'm with UTV, maybe that has something to do with it)

There's info on why they aren't allowed to be called Gmail any more (in the UK) here:
http://mail.google.com/mail/help/intl/en-GB/googlemail.html
and... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/4354954.stm

But how can I get it back to being Gmail again?

move to ireland ya dirty brit!

seriously though.. it's still GMail for me, thank fook.... "suchandsuch@googlemail.com" is a bit long winded. I'd say you're right about the UTV thing.

if using windows they usually pick the locale you picked during set up.

for winxp...Control Panel>Regional & Language options>Location drop down box. But now that the gmail addie is set up I doubt ya can change it, could always get another new one with the @gmail etc

I like this idea!

Anyway, for gmail it says gmail when I'm at home and Googlemail when I'm at work so I doubt they'll be killing off gmail.com for UK users any time soon,

Forget where I read it, but regardless of what domain you've got (gmail / googlemail) mail sent to either will get sent to you. The only real deference is what you see on your end.

Thats true, but apparently UK users *might* loose the ability to use gmail.com
so many a story have said anyway

Users that are with isps who pipe their traffic back to england e.g. ntl or utv will be affected by this google mail malarky as all they are doing is looking at the ip and see'ing its an english one and sending you off to the google mail content.
