Tip: Googlemail -> Gmail

If you were one of the folks who signed up at Gmail when the domain assignment was "@googlemail.com" visit your settings page right away.  I found a link there that converted mine to a genuine "@gmail.com".   You can find that link under Settings->Accounts and Import->Send mail as..->hyperlink to the right that asks "switch to @gmail.com"

While most of us knew that if you wrote to the @gmail.com domain with your @googlemail.com user it would forward and work, but your official login was always with the complete domain name.  All of that get's fixed with this click and all the software and apps out there that aren't ready to read in the @googlemail.com domain will work for you.

Check your account and get your free upgrade to the @gmail.com domain today!
