A while back I bought a Gmail invite on ebay, to boost my feedback (don't ask). I created an email address that I want to use now. But I forgot the password and reset instructions were sent to the seller's email. Luckily, I looked up his email domain and it is expired or previously registered.


The grand question is: Am I able to buy the domain and create the email account the guy used in addition to receive the Gmail reset instructions?

Sounds possible to me, but I would like some comments(heh) before I spend $10 on the domain.

So long as you can buy the domain and get an email host, you would be able to create the same user and have the email reset and you'll be good to go.
