With gmail, you can have as many dots in an email as you want.

My job is fully dropping our in-house email system for gmail and dropping MS Office for Google Docs. We now have our own domain set up through google so the email uses gmail but the domain name is still ours. We are basically eliminating the need for any servers or network admins. Anyone with half a brain can administer a google apps domain. Apparently this solution is becoming really popular, a lot of companies are going this route to save a buck.

I'll laugh my ass off if they pull the rug out from under all of these companies trying to save money and start charging for their google apps domains once a ton of people have converted over.

Our office switched to google e-mail last year, too. I don't like webmail and I use my own domains for most things, so I forward my work e-mail to an account I set up on my domain.

I have accounts with the following domains, most of which forward to an account on my domain:

@gmail.com
@yahoo.com
@hotmail.com
@aol.com
@alumni.<undergradcollege>.edu
@alumni.<lawschool>.edu
@cia.com
@sudhian.com
@facebook.com

I sometimes wonder if there are more out there. I seem to recall having a netscape.com account, but that was probably rolled into something else.

What are some other ones I might have forgotten about?

@juno.com?

Nope (though one of my elderly friends used that).

I got a firstinitiallastname@hotmail.com

And my last name is *very* common in Ireland...which is why I get daily emails from Irish websites and password resets thinking I'm somebody else.

Same here. I got one of the fist gmail invites (I had been a barely active Blogger member) when people were paying around $100 for an invite. Traded an invite away for a retail, unopened copy of WinXP Pro.

I get so much crap from people thinking they have my email address though. One time I got some political spam from a family's email list and started a large politics flamewar. Although, I was pretty honest with them saying I have no idea who you people are, but...

I do love how I get a ton of crap from companies with the "if you are the unintended recipient, you must reply and then delete all messages from this address" as though I'm breaking the law by not doing so.

Gmail is king and I actually got firstnamelastname@gmail.com because I am l33t. It tells people a story about my level of bossiness.

I have one of these too!

Actually I have that for hotmail, yahoo, and gmail. firstnamelastname@ whatever
